According to Hon.

His impact on Nigeria’s political evolution cannot be overstated.”
On the passing of Pa Victor Omololu Olunloyo, the former Governor of Oyo State, Hon. Simple praised his intellectual brilliance and remarkable contributions to the development of the state.

His commitment to good governance and progress remains deeply appreciated by the people of Oyo,” he stated.
Reflecting on the back-to-back losses, Hon. Simple said, “Oyo has indeed lost two giants.
The deaths of Chief Adeojo and Pa Olunloyo within days of each other is a painful blow that will be felt across political, traditional, and civil society spaces in the state.”
He extended his condolences to Governor Seyi Makinde, the bereaved families, and the people of Oyo State, praying for God’s comfort and strength for all who mourn.
“May the Almighty grant them eternal rest and give us the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss,” he concluded.
