Tension reigned at the Ikeja GRA national headquarters of the Grassroots Mobilisation for Tinubu (GMT) on Monday, 8 September 2025, when news broke out that the organisation’s hitherto Director of Administration, Honourable Lanre Ogunyemi, had resigned his appointment, reports thegazellenews.com.
Thegazellenews.com recalled that Ogunyemi, a two-term member of the Lagos State House of Assembly and equally two-time state Secretary of the party, was actively involved in the training seminar organised by the group for its directors barely 48 hours earlier, on Saturday, 6 September 2025, at Providence Hotel, GRA, Ikeja.
In fact, Ogunyemi was one of the resource persons at the event which was attended by participants from states such as Delta, Ogun, Oyo, Adamawa, and Kaduna.
When the news broke on Monday, 8 September 2025, that Ogunyemi had resigned, there was palpable tension in the group.
Staff were seen discussing the matter in hushed tone as Ogunyemi is one of the most loved and highly respected directors in the group.
Sources close to Ogunyemi confirmed his resignation, noting that the former lawmaker may have resigned to advance his committed struggle to contribute meaningfully to the reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 with like-minded individuals.
