FORMER ONDO STATE GOVERNOR, SLUMPS AND DIES AT 65

Former Ondo state
governor, Dr. Olusegun Agagu is dead. He died
after recently returning from a trip abroad during a
meeting with indigenes of Ondo state on Friday
evening.
According to sources close to the former
governor, he had just returned from a 20 day visit
abroad and was not suffering from any ailment.
Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko, in tribute
said the state had lost a colossus whose shoes
would be difficult to fill.
Mimiko said, “He would be remembered as a
consummate politician and lecturer, who imparted
knowledge to many people across the world.”
Also speaking, Segun Osoba, former Ogun state
governor said Agagu was a respectful and loyal
man.
Osoba said, ““I got to know him when he was
deputy to former governor of old Ondo State,
Bamidele Olomilua. He carried himself with
dignity. He was loyal to Olomilua during the days
of the Social Democratic Party. Agagu should rest
in peace.”
Ex-governor of Oyo State, Alao-Akala, called
Agagu’s death surprising.
He said, “It is sad. He came back from abroad
yesterday with his wife. They were having a
meeting with Ondo State people. Alex Akinyele
was there. He slumped. It is shocking,
devastating. We will all miss him. I can’t believe
he will just die.”
