GOVERNOR AJIMOBI’S CHIEF OF STAFF RESIGN

The former Chief of Staff was said to have tendered his resignation letter earlier this week so that he can concentrate on his teaching job at the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, while sources informed that Ibadan-born technocrat will officially vacate his office as the Chief of Staff  by the end of this month.

Penpushing recalled that, Ojo   was made Special Adviser on Political Matters in May, 2016, towards the end of Governor Ajimobi’s first tenure in office as the Governor of Oyo State, and was later elevated to the position of Chief of Staff.

However, sources close to Ojo claimed that the authorities of the University of Ilorin had given him ultimatum that his leave of absence is taking lots of time; that he should resign his teaching appointment or continue with politics.

Penpushing further reports that, another source revealed that Ojo, while in government, managed to cope under ‘abnormal’ circumstances as he was just a ‘figure head’ Chief of Staff.

”He practically combined his role as Chief of Staff with political advisory post. However, he was badly treated. He didn’t enjoy what his colleagues in other States enjoyed. His office was not befitting; it was in a corner. He had no influence,” a Government source said
