After defeating the incumbent, Bola Ige of the Unity Party of Nigeria, he was elected governor of the former Oyo State in 1983 on the platform of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) (UPN).
When General Muhammadu Buhari assumed office and ousted the elected administration on December 31, 1983, Olunloyo’s mandate came to an end three months later.
The controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo’s father is a former governor.
