From Lagos, CEOAFRICA.com gathered that former governor of the state and National Leader of All Progressive Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has joined millions of Nigerians in paying tribute to the deceased former Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Agagu.

A press release from Tinubu described the death of Agagu as huge blow to renewed struggle to bring sanity back to the political system of this country.

 “I received with utmost shock and sadness the news of the death of former Governor Olusegun Agagu. 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”.

Describing Agagu as a man with noble heart, Tinubu said;

” Over the years since he exited power, he has worked tirelessly traversing Ondo State, Lagos and the whole country seeking to forge a new democratic front for his people.  His death will slow down this new movement but certain that others will pick up from where he stopped “. Tinubu stated.

 Tinubu urged politicians and other public office holders to always remember the day of reckoning, when only their records will speak for them, in their dealings with the public.

He prayed that the courage to bear the great loss would not leave the family and associates of Agagu, adding that God receive the soul of the dead and grant him eternal rest.
