"I am a consultant, not an adviser"

The former deputy governor of Ekiti State and governorship candidate of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, in the July 14, 2018 election won by Dr. John Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Professor Olusola Eleka has let the cat out of the bag on his involvement in the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.

This was after Eleka had been challenged by a group, Ekiti Heritage that his appointment under in Oyo State was that of a 'come and chop' arrangement.

The group said, in their reaction to what Eleka termed as mere consultancy job on a Facebook thread where he commented after the secret of his appointment became a public knowledge, that Eleka was actually on the pay roll of Oyo government. The former deputy governor first denied the revelation as untrue, but later confirmed it, claiming that he was merely playing a consultancy role in the Makinde government.

Eleka, in his reaction to the allegation that he pit his tent with instead of returning to the university as a Professor of Building Technoclogy, wrote that "fools cannot distinguish between appointment as SA and a consultancy job."

And Ekiti Heritage responded: "Well, we can only sympathize with Prof. Eleka who was bewitched and maltreated by Mr Ayo Fayose when they were in office but seems not to have learnt enough from the experience and still want to learn some more. By now, the prof of should have disengaged himself from Fayose's school of thought that public is a do-or-die affair."

With Eleka's confession, the general conclusion is that the Prof must have failed to secure his job back at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife after the loss, and had been searching for other means of survival, which resulted in his berthing at the Makinde shore.

The group however challenged Eleka to tell Nigerians the truth about when he started a consultancy firm as well as where he opened his office, which now qualifies him to consult for a state like Oyo State, especially since he was not known to have been a consultant or had any address to that effect prior to his becoming a deputy to the former Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State.

Eleka was said to be a professor of Building Technology with Obafemi Awolowo University, and had assumedly taken a leave of absence. His failure to return to OAU has either put a lie to his initial credential or confirmed that he had had his hands burnt before leaving the ivory tower to become a deputy governor.

It is well

From depuy governor to sa to governor. Well all the money he gathered from his professional job was looted during campaign.

I don't see reasons why the man's action should be an headache to anybody. After clarification that he was not appointed as SA but consultant, you guys still won't let him go!

From Prof./D.Govr to S.A! which job you carry give am?

Free the man abeg, except he stole your lamb!

Lol...

PDP members and dubious character are like 5 and 6
