The Nation reports that Oshiomhole has accepted the resignation which is expected to take effect from the end of this month.
When contacted for confirmation, Odion said he has resigned to pursue his professional career.
The commissioner said he decided to leave since the Peoples Democratic Party has been routed from the state and the federal government.
He said, “I have been away for four years and my children are still young. They need my attention. I have always seen myself as a professional and I have been on sabbatical from the news room.”
It will be recalled that Odion was first appointed in 2011 and retained his position after the re-election of Governor Oshiomhole.
