Recall just last week, on the 17th of August, President Bola Tinubu assigned portfolios to the ministerial nominees, one of which was Bunmi Tunji-Ojo. He had been assigned the portfolio of the minister of marine and blue economy. Not long after, on Sunday he was redeployed as the minister of interior.

Bunmi Tunji-Ojo then released a letter on Sunday which was his resignation from the lower chamber. He revealed that his resignation will enable him to contribute his quota for the development of Nigeria.

He shared that Nigeria needs 'collaborative and concerted efforts' so as to promote the advancement of the country.
