Prominent Nigerians have continued to throng the Molete, Ibadan residence of former governor of old Oyo state, Dr Omololu Olunloyo, who died early Sunday morning during a brief illness.
Radio Nigeria correspondent, who visited the residence of the deceased, reports that the atmosphere was a celebration of a life well spent.
One of the early callers to the house of the late former governor was the secretary to the state government, SSG, in his twenty-four-man cabinet during his tenure as governor of Oyo state in 1983, Chief Shuaib Oyedokun.
Chief Oyedokun who paid glowing tribute to the deceased, noted that Dr Olunloyo was a compassionate man who was ready for governance during his short stay in office.
He stressed that, even though the late Olunloyo was a tough looking personality, he had a profound sense of humor.
Another early caller at the deceased residence was the speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr Adebo Ogundoyin, who maintained that Dr Olunloyo was a mentor whose legacy would never be forgotten in the state.
To the former deputy governor of the state, who was also one of the visitors, Chief Hazeem Gbolarumi, the deceased kept a low profile during his lifetime concentrating more on reading and family.
The wife of the late former governor, Mrs Aderonke Olunloyo, said her husband was a complete gentleman who was unassuming.
Dr Olunloyo died in the early hours of Sunday aged 89 years old.
