Kwara State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatah  Ahmed, has commiserated with government and people of Ondo State over the death of the former governor of the state describing the death as "shocking".

Ahmed in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba said with the demise of former Governor Agagu: "The nation has been deprived of his wise counsel and wealth of political experience, especially now that Nigeria is in dire need of political tolerance and moral rejuvenation in order to overcome her developmental challenges."

"Former Governor Agagu was an honest and highly reliable politician who wanted the best for his people and the country. His contribution to education remains a reference point," he added.

The governor prayed God to grant Ondo State Government, the Agagu family and Nigeria at large the fortitude to bear the loss of the former governor.
