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.”
