absolute gentleman, quite brilliant, and very patriotic.
“When we ran the Power and Steel Ministry together, you could see his passion for the country. He was very dedicated and committed. It must have been these qualities that the people of Ondo State saw in him, and for which they elected him governor in 2003.
TUC in a message by its President and Secretary General, Bobboi Kaigama and Musa Lawal respectively, said they were saddened by the fact that we have had cause to condole five prominent Nigerian families in less than two months over the death of their loved ones who were snatched away in their prime by the cold hands of death

Governor
Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, described his death as a painful loss to the country,
Ondo State, which he served for years and the People’s Democratic Party,
PDP.
Akpabio, who is also the chairman of
the PDP Governors’ Forum, in a statement by his Special Assistant Media, Mr.
Jackson Udom said “Agagu was a revered leader whose wealth of experience would
have been effective in reclaiming the South-west states for the PDP.
”I am shocked by this death. It is a
great loss to the country because he was a leader with a vast experience,
having served as a Minister of Aviation and later governor.
But the
loss is heavier to the PDP family, especially at a time that it needs
experienced politicians like Agagu to chart the course for the complete reconciliation
and subsequent electoral victory of the party in the South-west region.”
Governor Mimiko in a statement by
his Chief Press Secretary, Eni Akinsola ordered that condolence registers be
opened at the Governor’s Office, Alagbaka, Akure, the state’s liaison offices
in Lagos and Abuja and the headquarters of the 18 local government areas of the
state.
The governor also called on
indigenes and residents of Ondo State to remember the Agagu family in their
prayers.
