Journalists from the Radio O-Y-O and Television Service of Oyo States (T.S.O.S) stations immediately he took over the Governorship of Oyo State. His major reason for terminating the appointments of these journalists was due to his complaint against the journalists for not covering his campaign trail properly during the 1983 Gubernatorial election.

Those journalists who had their appointments terminated by Governor Olunloyo were later re-instated back to their positions when Colonel Oladapo Popoola became the Military Governor of Oyo State in a military coup of January 1984 that swept off Civilain rule. Governor Omololu Olunloyo ruled Oyo State for only three months when he was removed from power.
