BREAKING: Hamsat Rasheed ‘Omigborotiti’ Resigns as Ogundoyin’s Aide, Dumps APM

Hamsat Rasheed, popularly known in political circles as “Omigborotiti,” has resigned from his position as Special Adviser to the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, bringing an end to his service in the Speaker’s office.

Rasheed’s resignation was formally communicated in a letter dated August 19, 2026, addressed to the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly.

In the letter titled “Resignation as Special Adviser,” Rasheed explained that his decision followed extensive consultation and careful consideration of his health.

“Following due and comprehensive consultation and careful consideration of my health, I wish to respectfully tender my resignation as Special Adviser to the Honourable Speaker, with effect from 19/08/2026.”

Appreciation to Speaker Ogundoyin

While announcing his departure, Rasheed expressed appreciation to Speaker Ogundoyin for the opportunity to serve and for the confidence placed in him during his time in the office.

He acknowledged the support and trust extended to him throughout his tenure, describing his service as a privilege.

“I sincerely appreciate Your Honour for the confidence reposed in me and the opportunity given me to serve. I am deeply grateful for the privilege, trust, and support extended to me throughout my service.”

His remarks suggest that the resignation was communicated with appreciation and respect for the leadership of the Speaker.

Also Quits APM

Beyond his resignation from the Speaker’s office, Rasheed has also announced his departure from the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), a political platform where he had been actively involved.

The development marks a significant change in his current political engagement in Oyo State, particularly given his visibility and activities within political circles.

However, Rasheed did not provide further details on his reasons for leaving the party, leaving his next political direction open to speculation.

A New Chapter

Rasheed’s simultaneous exit from the Speaker’s office and the APM marks the beginning of a new chapter in his public and political journey.

For now, his stated reason for leaving the position of Special Adviser remains his health, following what he described as due and comprehensive consultation.

His resignation officially took effect on August 19, 2026.

As political activities continue to gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, attention is expected to focus on Rasheed’s next move and whether his departure from the APM will lead to a new political alignment or a period of withdrawal from active political engagement.
