The late Dr Oluleye, a former Executive Secretary of Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) and Oluomo of Efon Alaaye, was a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2018 election.
Governor Fayemi, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr.Yinka Oyebode, said the news of Dr Oluleye’s death came to him as a rude shock because he did not exhibit any sign of ill health during their last meeting.
The Governor described the late Oluleye as an amiable, energetic, enterprising and highly resourceful politician who demonstrated great love and passion for the development of his people.
“Dr Oluleye was an embodiment of intellect, courage and hard work. He would be greatly missed,” the Governor said.
Dr Fayemi urged members of the family of the late politician as well as the Efon Alaaye community to mourn in moderation, adding that Oluleye lived a good life, made his mark in public service and left a good name.
“Our prayer is that God will grant him eternal rest and give the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss,” the statement added.
