A Rare Intellectual and Statesman Has Departed – Agbaje Honours Late Chief Olunloyo
Barrister Akeem Agbaje, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, has paid glowing tribute to the late Chief Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo, former Governor of Oyo State, who passed away just days before his 90th birthday.
In a heartfelt statement, Agbaje described the late Chief Olunloyo as a man who lived a fulfilled life marked by intellectual brilliance, principled leadership, and enduring service to humanity.
“Chief Victor Omololu Olunloyo was not only a former governor but a man of great learning and depth—a rare blend of intellect and statesmanship. His contributions as a mathematician, engineer, and public servant remain deeply etched in the history of our state and the nation.”
“Even in death, his life remains a source of pride and inspiration,” Agbaje added. “He exemplified what it meant to be a servant-leader—principled, visionary, and unshaken in his belief in the power of education and governance to transform lives.”
“As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate a life that was purposefully lived. May Almighty Allah accept his return, forgive his shortcomings, and grant him Aljannah Firdaus.”
