Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde on Saturday, February 12, 2022, visited former Governor Victor Omololu Olunloyo in his Molete residence in Ibadan, presenting him a Lexus Sport Utility Vehicle as gift.
Olunloyo governed the state between October 1 and December 31, 1983 before a military coup unseated him.
Makinde, who was accompanied by a number of government officials, also held a closed door meeting with him.
Governor Makinde simply said: “Your Excellency, let me present you with this gift,” pointing to the army green colour car.
An excited Olunloyo asked one of his aides to pray for the governor and the success of his administration.
The governor, his entourage and Olunloyo later undertook a tour of the former governor’s newly renovated residence.
In his brief remark, Olunloyo praised Makinde for what he called his good works, praying that the governor would continue to record successes.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa quoted the former governor as saying: “You have done well by giving befitting burial to the departed monarchs, including the Soun of Ogbomoso and the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
“I thank you for all the projects you are doing, you are doing very well.”
