Former Oyo Gov, Olunloyo Debunks Death Rumour
A former governor of Oyo State, Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo, has debunked rumours about his death.
While speaking with Punch at his Molete residence in Ibadan on Friday, he said he was hale and hearty.
Recall that some news platforms (not Osun Defender) had earlier reported the rumour of the death of the elder statesman.
However, Olunloyo, while speaking, said, “I’m still here, not yet gone.”
He said, “Those breaking death news and the person presumed dead will all die one day.
“I’ve been lucky. My father died at 42, while my mother died at 102. I’m 89. I’ve crossed the expected life age.”
The elder statesman also illustrated how the rumour of his death hit several news platforms on June 7, 2022.
He noted that the rumour mongers claimed that he died at the University College Hospital, Ibadan.
A few days later, the family issued a statement, declaring that he was not dead but suffering from old age ailment and asking Nigerians to pray for him to survive the health complications.
