OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that Kemi Olunloyo, daughter of former Oyo State Governor Chief Omololu Olunloyo, has denounced the family name, adding that she is not accepting anybody’s condolences over the demise of her father, who passed away on Sunday, April 6 at 89 because she is not condoling with anybody.
OTN News further reports that Kemi who said this in a video she posted on her social media handles, Facebook and Tik Tok, disclosed some events which took place in the family and allegedly broke the family of the late renowned Mathematician and politician apart.
According to her, “I am uploading video statements on my father’s death on TikTok. I am NOT part of the Olunloyo family anymore and told you that in 2024 that I will never return to Nigeria even if my parents died.”
“I am not accepting anybody’s condolences because I am not condoling with anybody. If you want to condole with my father on his death or his family, you need to go to Facebook.com/omololuolunloyo.
Although she claimed she had forgiven the former Governor, she said: “I have forgiven my Dad for everything he did.”
She added: “You don’t know what’s going on in my family and I don’t know what’s going on in your family.
“My father, Victor Omololu Olunloyo is two different people. He was one person to the world; he was another person to the family. My father destroyed our family unit; my father tortured us as kids. He tortured us emotionally and physically. My father ruined the family unit.
“My father marketed me as his favourite daughter and child to the world; he also marketed himself to me as that. But I was far from being his favourite. My father used me for a lot of things. My father did a lot to all of us. When I said he used me, he took advantage of my own positive energies.
“My father was into ‘juju’ heavily. My father was into occult practices and I called my father out on his 80th birthday. After I called him out, he went to Pastor E. A Adeboye that he wanted to become born-again and he did.
“I know that I’m special and I know what God brought me here for. They wanted to kill my story but they didn’t but they killed Tayo; they killed my brother’s child. My brother that died at 51 who was in the ‘Ali Must Go’ car with me; remember he lost about half of brains and was paralysed for 43 years and lived with seizures and no livelihood. Tayo was buried after he died in 2021. Tayo would have been a great Mathematician. They ruined his destiny.
“My mother married an intellectual, a man who got his Ph.D at 26 years old. And he turned into a polygamist. Not that polygamists are not good, but the way it happened to my family.”
Kemi claimed that longstanding tensions within the Olunloyo family were triggered by the late former Governor’s marriage to Aderonke Omololu Olunloyo, formerly known as Ronke Sonaike.
According to her, the late political leader met Sonaike during his 1983 governorship campaign, where she served as a campaign aide.
The relationship, she alleged, eventually led to a romantic involvement that culminated in marriage, marking the beginning of a deep rift within the family.
She further claimed that tensions reached a boiling point when Ronke became pregnant for the former Governor, an event that allegedly shocked and angered her mother, who had regarded her husband primarily as a man of intellect and principle.
