The political and traditional spheres of Nigeria have been thrown into mourning following the passing of former Governor of Oyo State, Chief Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo. The elder statesman died in the early hours of Sunday, just days shy of his 90th birthday.

 

Chief Olunloyo, a distinguished scholar, politician, and statesman, was not only a prominent figure in Nigeria’s political history but also a respected traditional titleholder. He held the revered titles of Balogun of Oyo and Otun Bobasewa of Ile-Ife, underscoring his deep-rooted ties to Yoruba culture and leadership.

 

His demise marks the end of an era for Oyo State and Nigeria at large. As governor of the old Oyo State during the Second Republic, Chief Olunloyo’s tenure, though brief, was marked by visionary ideas and intellectual depth that earned him respect across party lines.

 

Born in 1935, Olunloyo was known for his brilliance in mathematics, a trait that set him apart early in life and earned him international acclaim. His intellectual prowess informed his politics and public service, leaving a legacy of principled leadership and academic excellence.

 

Tributes have begun pouring in from across the nation as political leaders, traditional rulers, and citizens mourn the loss of one of Nigeria’s finest minds and most respected elders.

 

Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced by the family in due course.
