The short statement, in posted on the Facebook page of Mrs. Ronke Olunloyo, a wife of the former Governor reads inter alia:
"We appreciate the public for the interest shown in the wellbeing of our father, Chief Dr. Victor Omololu Sowemimo OLUNLOYO (aka VOSO).
In the tradition of the OLUNLOYO family of Ibadanland, and based on the principles of integrity, inclusion, and openness upon which our revered father VOSO has always stood, we would like to inform the Nigerian public that we would greatly appreciate your prayers for our father who is presently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at UCH Ibadan.
As a public figure, we believe that his condition should not be hidden from the Nigerian public who have a right to know about their leaders.
Please accept our most sincere thanks for your all concern and goodwill.
May God Almighty bless you all and our dear country Nigeria".
Dr. Olunloyo served as Governor of Oyo State from October to December 31, 1983 when the Second Republic was terminated by the Major General Buhari-led coup d'etat that ended four years of civil rule.
