Abegunde, an Indigene of Akure, the Ondo State capital, was appointed by the governor as the SSG in March 2017.
He had also represented the Akure North/South Constituency in the House of Representatives between 2003 and 2007.
While the former SSG has yet to disclose his next action, his resignation comes two weeks after the Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi, resigned his membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ajayi, who has since joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), however, ignored calls that he should resign as the deputy governor of the state.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had fixed October 10 to conduct the governorship election in the state.
