Kemi Olunloyo Says She Is No Longer Part Of The Family

By Akinwale Kasali

Kemi Olunloyo, Pharmacist, controversial investigative Journalist and daughter of Late Victor Olunloyo, former Governor of Oyo State, has announced her departure from the Olunloyo Family.

She renounced the family name and said she is no longer part of the family.

In a series of posts and videos shared on her Facebook and TikTok pages, Kemi declared that she no longer considers herself part of the Olunloyo family, and would not be accepting condolences over her father’s death.

“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,” she said.

She added, “I am not accepting anybody’s condolences because I am not condoling with anybody.”

While she said she had forgiven her father, she described him as “two different people,” alleging that he presented a different image to the public and another at home.

“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.”

Kemi further alleged that the former governor was involved in occult practices until later in life when he became born again.

She added, “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.”

According to her, a major source of conflict within the family stemmed from her father’s relationship with Aderonke Omololu Olunloyo, formerly known as Ronke Sonaike, whom he met during his 1983 governorship campaign and later married.

She claimed the union triggered a rift in the family, especially after Ronke became pregnant, a development she said devastated her mother.

“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,” she said.

It would be recalled that the former governor, a renowned Mathematician and politician, died on Sunday, April 6, at the age of 89.

Following Kemi’s declaration, the family was yet to officially respond to her at the time of filing this story.
