Agagu who had returned from the US on
Thursday, reportedly slumped in Ikoyi,
where he was having a meeting with Ondo
indigenes, on Friday evening.
Agagu’s former Chief Press Secretary, Yemi
Olowolabi, said the former governor was
not sick and had just returned from a 20-
day trip abroad.
“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.”
Said former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo
Alao-Akala, who described Agagu’s death as
shocking.
Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko,
described the death of his predecessor as
shocking, adding that Ondo has lost a
colossus, whose vacuum 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.”
Reacting to the sad new, a member of PDP
Board of Trustees, Chief Ebenezer Babatope,
said: “This is tragic news. I’m shattered. He
never held grudges.”
It was gathered that he ate lunch at home
in Ikoyi before heading for a meeting on
Lagos mainland, where he slumped.
Subsequently, he was rushed to a private
hospital in Yaba but he was transferred to
Military Hospital, Ikoyi, where he was
pronounced dead.
May his soul rest in peace!
