Akinruntan announced his resignation from the deputy speaker position on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, alongside the Majority Leader of the state’s House of Assembly, Emmanuel Ogunmolasuyi.
The duo, both members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) resigned from their respective position during the plenary.
The former deputy speaker represents Ilaje Constituency 1, while Ogunmolasuyi represents Owo Constituency 1 in Ondo State.
At the plenary which was presided over by the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji, the duo said their resignation was fueled by some political tussles within the state.
