Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Saturday evening, paid a visit to the Molete, Ibadan home of the former Governor of Oyo State, Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo, where he presented the former governor with a Lexus SUV.
Makinde, who was accompanied by a number of government officials, held a closed door meeting with Olunloyo who was Governor between October 1 and December 31, 1983.
Makinde only said: “Your Excellency, let me present you with this gift,” pointing to the army green coloured 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 will 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, the Soun of Ogbomoso and the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
“I thank you for all the projects you are doing, you are doing very well,” Olunloyo said.
