It may be the oil pressure sensor at fault.
It could also be a sticking oil pressure relief valve.

Before you start replacing expensive items like oil pumps, start with the easiest and cheapest first.

Presumably the engine oil level is ok? and it isn't overdue an oil/filter change?

Your car doesn't have an oil pressure gauge? Knowing what your oil pressure was would be of help. A workshop would be able to check your oil pressure using something similar to what you see in the link below:
***** in oil pressure tester

Check your oil level first.
If the car is due an oil/filter change - do it.
If changing the oil consider using an engine flush:

Then, try changing your oil pressure sensor. You should be able to pick one up at any car shop. It screws into the block and has an electrical connection.

The link below shows generic images of oil pressure sensors:

SOURCE: i have a holden statesman

ok fuse and bulbs are ok then you have to start looking at switches there is a switch on the arm of the brake pedal, use a test light and make sure 12 volts is going through the switch then that voltage goes upto the multifunction switch in the stearing colum, this has your hazard lights, turn signals, and bright headlamp controls in it, check this by turning on the hazard lights see it the tail lights flash this uses the same wire as the brake light so if it lights you have a bad brake switch at the pedal, if nothing lights up 90% chance its the multi function switch

SOURCE: the dash bord wont light up

If all else is working ok, it may just be the fuse supplying the lights. If you confirm it is getting power, then it is possible there is a faulty chip within the binnacle (gauge unit) These can be repaired by specialists in this repair fairly cheaply.

Oil light on all the time and ticking noise from motor

this is probably not what you want to hear but that light is there to allow the operator know that the engine has oil. and that it is being pumped to a adequate pressure to lubricate and protect internal components that have to be fed oil under pressure just to survive . if a engine looses total oil pressure a major seizior or blow up is on the cards often leaving most components un salvage able don't operate while the light stays on as you are doing damage . there may still be a bit of pressure there but not enough to lubricate the internals. first up check it has oil . peform a oil and filter change and see if that improves the situation but definatly don't operate as the noises soon turn into the death rattle and then the magic leaks out in the smoke leaving your wallet sore as well

HOLDEN 1990 V8 STATESMAN, keeps breaking down, just before it does the oil light flickers on and off, sometimes it stays on for a few seconds then goes off, then my engine light comes on, not long after...

Your oil light is not a symptom. It's flickering because as the engine dies, the oil pressure is dropping. The engine's power pumps the oil, so this is pretty normal. The engine slows down, the pump will also, and there will be less pressure.
As far as what to try next, I would assume that a 1990 has throttle body fuel injection? (The kind that looks like a big 2 barrel carb) If this is the case, you should look to see if fuel is pooling on the butterflies at idle. If it is, then you have an injector stuck in the open position, allowing unregulated fuel to flow into your engine. If your engine ises direct injection, where there would be 8, or 9 injectors (9th would be the cold start injector), one or more of them may be stuck in the open position, but I would check the cold start injector first.
I'm sorry that I am not really familiar with your exact model. We don't have holden here in the states.
