In a surprising political shift, Owoseni has resigned from his position as security adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde, a move that raises questions about the state’s security landscape. The resignation, conveyed in a letter dated May 7, 2026, signals potential unrest within the governor's inner circle as security challenges persist in Oyo State.
Owoseni's departure comes amid ongoing concerns over rising crime rates and public safety, which have prompted criticism of the government's response. His letter, addressed through the Chief of Staff, did not specify reasons for his resignation, leaving many to speculate about underlying tensions or disagreements regarding security strategies. "This resignation reflects a broader discontent with the current state of affairs," remarked political analyst Dr. Chijioke Nduka.
As the Makinde administration grapples with mounting security issues, this resignation could be a pivotal moment, potentially leading to a reevaluation of security policies and personnel. Observers will be keenly watching how this development impacts the governor’s ability to maintain order and public confidence in his leadership.
