According to a statement in Ado Ekiti by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Modupe Alade, Oso, who is known to be one of the closest political associates of Governor Ayo Fayose, resigned on health grounds.

“His letter of resignation has been fully accepted by His Excellency, Mr. Ayo Fayose.
“Oso, in his notice to the governor, stated that he decided to resign to attend to his health challenges.
