A prominent politician in Ekiti State and former Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Dr Oluwole Oluleye, has died.
Oluleye, an aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in the 2018 governorship poll in Ekiti State, died on Saturday at an Abuja hospital after a brief illness.
Oluleye contested the Ekiti governorship seat on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, but lost to Governor Kayode Fayemi in the primary.
He was also at a time the executive secretary of the petroleum Development Trust Fund ( PTDF).
A senator-elect in Ekiti State, Hon Opeyemi Bamidele, has described as a monumental loss Oluleye’s demise, adding that it is a personal loss to him.
In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Saturday, Bamidele said Oluleye’s death was a devastating loss, being from Ekiti Central senatorial district, where he had just won election to the Senate.
Bamidele branded Oluleye as an illustrious son of Ekiti and accomplished technocrat and educationist, who rendered selfless services to Nigeria to be great while alive.
