Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun
Four cabinet members of the Ogun State executive council resigned their appointments on Monday.
The four members are, Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Dr. Lanre Tejuosho; Commissioner for Urban and Physical Planning, Mr. Gbenga Otenuga; Deputy Chief of Staff, Alhaji Shuaib Salisu; and Special Adviser on Environment, Mr. Tunde Sanusi.
Governor Ibikunle Amosun, who announced the resignations at Monday’s executive council meeting, said the ex-state officials resigned to pursue their political ambitions during the 2015 general elections.
Amosun said the officials resigned in compliance with the 2010 Electoral Act, noting that others who were special assistants and other appointees had earlier resigned but that it was the first time full cabinet members would resign.
“The beauty of democracy is the opportunity for anybody to offer himself or herself for service to the people, and I wish those contesting in the 2015 elections the best of luck,” the governor said.
