PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan yesterday led
prominent Nigerians to pay tributes to former governor
of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Agagu, who died at 65 last
Friday.
He described the ex -Minister of Aviation and Power,
Dr Olusegun Agagu, as a man whose exemplary
decorum, poise, urbanity, finesse and loyalty in the
conduct of politics will be greatly missed.
A statement by his Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Reuben Abati, said: “On behalf of himself, the
Federal Government and the people of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, President Jonathan extends
sincere condolences to Dr. Agagu’s family, the
government and people of Ondo State, as well as Dr.
Agagu’s friends, political associates and colleagues in
Ondo State and other parts of the country.
“The President joins them in mourning the
distinguished academic whose exemplary decorum,
poise, urbanity, finesse and loyalty in the conduct of
politics will be greatly missed by all, especially his
colleagues and associates in the Peoples Democratic
Party.”
Former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,
described his death as a blow to the renewed struggle
to restore sanity to the nation’s politics.
He said: “Once again, the cold hands of death have
snatched an illustrious man of great character and
devotion to country.
“Agagu was a good man, a bridge builder who never
let the bitterness of defeat or political disagreements
rob him of his patriotic spirit.”
Tinubu described Agagu as a man with a noble heart
and a politician who placed national interest above self
interest.
“His death will slow down this new movement but
others will pick up from where he stopped.”
The Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) also
paid tribute to Agagu, saying his death marked the end
of a glorious era.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger State,
Dr. Babangida Aliyu, described the late Agagu as a
true nationalist.
A statement by Aliyu’s spokesman, Danladi Ndayebo,
said: “From Agagu’s stint as a lecturer at the
prestigious University of Ibadan, through his tenure as
Minister of Aviation, to his election to the position of
the Governor of Ondo State and his life in retirement,
the former Governor remained with the people.”
Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosun, described
Agagu’s death as regrettable.
The governor, in a statement by his Senior Special
Assistant on Media, Mrs. Funmi Wakama, said: “He
died at a time when the nation should have benefited
more from his wealth of experience as an intellectual,
politician and public servant.”
The governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, said Ibadan,
the South West and indeed Nigeria had lost one of
their most cerebral and intellectual politicians ever.
Ajimobi, in a statement by his Special Adviser on
Media, Dr. Festus Adedayo, recalled that Agagu left
imperishable legacies in Ondo State where he was
governor between 2003 and 2007.
According to him: “Dr. Agagu can never die; when the
people tread those roads constructed by his
administration in Ondo State, when they pass by those
imperishable legacies he left.
“The foremost Geology teacher will live in their hearts
and they will confront his great love for the people of
the state afresh, even decades to come.”
Former Edo State governor, Lucky Igbinedion, said:
“His exit at this period was a great setback for the
nation due to his wealth of experience in political
engineering.”
A former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu,
described Agagu as a consummate politician, who
played a key role in the socio-political development of
Nigeria.
Orji, in a statement by his Special Adviser, Oyekunle
Oyewumi, said: “No one can take it away from Agagu
that he did his best as governor of Ondo State.
Cross River State governor, Liyel Imoke, expressed
grief over the demise. Imoke, in a statement by his
Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Christian Ita, recalled his
time with the late governor as Minister of Power.
He described the deceased as an astute administrator,
a consummate professional and a team player.
Ekiti State governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, in a
statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Olayinka
Oyebode, said the death of Agagu was a “blow below
the belt” for the political class.
He said: “He served as a very loyal deputy governor
under our revered father, Evangelist Bamidele
Olumilua, and the legacies of that administration are
still there for all to see.”
