On Sunday, Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Gboyega Akosile sympathised with his Oyo State counterpart, Engr Seyi Makinde. The deceased’s family, friends, and associates were urged to take heart as the late Olunloyo lived a fulfilled life.

The chairman of the South-West Governors Forum described the late Olunloyo, who governed Oyo State between October 1 and December 31, 1983, as a seasoned administrator, mathematician and scholar of high repute and a renowned technocrat who distinguished himself as a genius and intellectual during his lifetime.

He said: “On behalf of my family, the government and people of Lagos State, as well as the South-West Governors Forum, I commiserate with my brother, Governor Seyi Makinde, and the government and people of Oyo State on the death of Dr Victor Omololu Olunloyo.

“I also sympathise with the immediate family of the deceased, sons and daughters of Ibadan, the extended Olunloyo family, and deceased friends and associates over the departure of the accomplished scholar.

“Dr Omololu Olunloyo was more than a politician and governor. He was a man of many parts who distinguished himself in private and public sectors, particularly in the education sector, as a mathematician, scholar and the first Rector of Ibadan Polytechnic.
