A former minister of Federal Capital Territory, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, has mourned the passing of former governor Omololu Olunloyo.
Akinjide made this known in a statement issued Sunday evening.
“Chief Omololu Sowemimo Olunloyo was a highly cerebral and principled man whose opinions and advice was invaluable to me.
“He had a high regard for my late Dad, and the respect was mutual. Loosing him, albeit at a ripe age, is still a great loss to the nation.
“As a statesman and former governor of Oyo State, he has left a legacy too difficult to surpass. A world-class mathematician, consumate administrator, and an engineer of repute he will be greatly missed. Chief Olunloyo was a rare gift to the world.
“I share this sad moment to condole with Oyo State Governor, Engineer Oluseyi Makinde, the good people of Oyo State, his widow, family members, and numerous admirers.
“May his soul rest in peace,” said the statement.
