"What killed my dad" - Agagu' Son...

Feyi Agagu, the first son of the late Dr. Olusegun Agagu, the former governor of Ondo State, on Saturday shed more light on his father cause of death. He said his Father was hypertensive.

According to reports, Agagu, who returned from United States on Thursday, slumped in Ikoyi, Lagos, where he was having a meeting with Ondo indigenes on Friday evening.

Feyi said his father 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, “so 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.
