The development comes two weeks after his former SSA on Rural Development, Esinrogunjo Musbau, visited the former Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki in Ilorin.

According to informed sources, Esinrogunjo resigned in obedience to his parents wish amid speculation that he was heading to join the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.

“Yes, it is true that I have resigned my position as the SSA on Rural Mobilisation to Governor Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq,” he declared .

He said ” please note that I have just resigned due to personal reasons which I have communicated in my letter addressed to the governor.”

Esinrogunjo, was recently appointed alongside other notable APC chieftains into the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council
