Breaking News! Ex-Governor Of Ondo State, Segun Agagu Dies

Former Governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Agagu is dead.

Thegazellenews.com learnt this evening that the former Governor died in his Ibadan residence at around 6pm after a brief illness.

Unconfirmed report indicated that the former Governor slumped and died after his illness relapsed.

Other details surrounding the death of the ex-Governor are sketchy for now but thegazellenews.com will supply full details for you later.

Gov. Olusegun Mimiko says Ondo has lost a great son and icon who truly loved the state and described him as a national Icon.

Olusegun Kokumo Agagu (born 16 February 1948) was Governor of Ondo State inNigeria from 29 May 2003 until February 2009, when a court voided his re-election as governor on account of electoral irregularities. He was replaced as governor of Ondo State by Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, his arch political rival based on a court injunction. His name, Olusegun, means “God is victorious“. He is a member of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

He commenced his elementary education at St. Luke’s Anglican School, (now known as St. Paul’s Anglican School) Okitipupa, in 1954. In January 1958, he moved to live with his cousin, Edward Fagbohun in Ibadan, where he continued his primary education at Ebenezer African Church School, Oke-Ado, Ibadan.

In 1959 he transferred to Kano in 1959 where he studied at the Ebenezer Methodist School and Baptist Primary School Sabon-Gari, Kano. He then moved back to Ebenezer African Church School, Ibadan where he completed his primary education in 1960.

Thereafter, he was in Ibadan Grammar School between January 1961 and 1967 where he passed his West African School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate examinations. He was admitted to the University of Ibadan in 1968 to study Botany but later changed to Geology in which he graduated with a B.Sc. (Hons) degree in Second Class Upper Division, in 1971. As an undergraduate, his academic record was replete with laurels and prizes.
