Ondo declares a 7 day mourning for Agagu


On his part, Senator  Goje  in a statement by  his media aide, Ahmed Yaro, said: “It came to me as a shock, a very rude shock. Dr. Agagu was an 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

Dr Olusegun Kokumo Agagu 
 Governor Olusegun Agagu.
The governor of Ondo State, governor Olusegun Mimiko  has declared 7- day mourning for his immediate predecessor Dr. Olusegun  Agagu who died last Friday, even as more condolences poured in for the deceased.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Senator Danjuma Goje, Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, Nigeria Medical Association, NMA and Bode Olajumoke, were among those that sent in their condolences, yesterday.
 Tambuwal, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, said the deceased was a nationalist who championed unity and tolerance among the people.
He described him as a fulfilled gentleman who shared his vast knowledge and experience with many politicians within and outside his state.
 Tambuwal prayed to God to give the deceased’s family fortitude to bear the loss.

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.
