LATE AGAGU'S SON REVEALS WHAT KILLED HIM

The first son of the late former Governor of
Ondo State, Olusegun Agagu, Feyi, has made
made public what might have caused his
father's death.
In an interview with one of Nigeria's dailies,
he said, “He just had a medical examination,
which showed that he had a little cholesterol,
and was hypertensive.
“There is diabetes in our family, but it’s
nothing major; it was just something he had
been dealing with for the past 10 to 15 years.
So, there was no inkling that something was
about to happen,”
According to him, his mum has lost her best
friend and husband. He confirmed that his
father passed away in Lagos on his way to St.
Nicholas Hospital.
He added that his father had the usual illness
that comes with age, "there was no stand out
cause for his passing. He lived a simple but a
fulfilled and happy life. He left amazing
memories and fantastic legacies behind.
“I will miss the friendship, I will miss the
advice; he was pretty much anything any
wife, son or daughter could ask for in a
father.
“He was a mentor to many, a brother, a
benefactor; I’m sure a lot of people will miss
him,” he said.
Agagu said the family had just returned for
their annual two and a half weeks vacation
and during that time, his father showed no
sign of illness.
“I guess when it’s time to go, when your
maker comes to get you, when he brought you,
he did not ask anybody, so he can take you
when he sees fit,” he said. He said
arrangements for the burial were yet to be
made.
In the same vein, the former Chief Press
Secretary to Agagu, Mr. Yemi Olowolabi, told
SUNDAY PUNCH that it has been decided that
he would be buried in his home town.
Olowolabi said that as a former governor,
Agagu would be given a state burial and the
state government had confirmed that
Governor Olusegun Mimiko would visit the
family Sunday.
He said, “The burial date has not been fixed.
You know, as former governor of Ondo State,
his burial is a state affair. The state
government has confirmed that the governor
would be here tomorrow and he will be
discussing burial plans. The much that has
been decided is that he would be buried in his
hometown, Iju Odo, in Okitipupa Local
Government Area of Ondo State.”
Olowolabi added the wife of the deceased had
been receiving Agagu’s political associates
from all over the country at their Ikoyi, Lagos
residence.
