The death of former Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Oluwole Oluleye, has been announced and he is being mourned.

Reacting to Oluleye’s demise, a senator-elect in Ekiti State, Opeyemi Bamidele, described it as a monumental loss. He went on to disclose that it was a personal loss to him.

Oluleye, who was an aspirant in the 2018 governorship poll in Ekiti State, died on Saturday at an Abuja hospital after a brief illness.

He contested the Ekiti governorship primaries which was eventually won by Governor Kayode Fayemi.

He was also a one time executive secretary of the  Petroleum Development Trust Fund (PTDF).

In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Saturday, Bamidele, who described Oluleye’s death as “devastating”, branded the deceased as an illustrious Ekiti son and an accomplished technocrat and educationist, who rendered selfless services to Nigeria while he was alive.

“Dr. Oluleye’s demise was a devastating one, in view of his outstanding character as a public servant, community leader and politician.

“His administrative astuteness and competence were recognised by the Federal government and this earned him the respectable position he held at different times as executive secretary of PPPRA and PTDF.

“Though, he never had the opportunity to serve at the state level, but he left an indelible footprint on the sand of time as a philanthropist and community builder.

“I condole with the Ekiti State governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, the traditional ruler of Efon kingdom, Oba Emmanuel Aladejare, and the entire citizens of our dear state over this scandalous and irreparable loss .

“I pray that the good Lord shall fill the vacuum left by Dr. Oluleye and heal all broken hearts this death must have caused.”
