The former Chairman of the Ondo State Council of Obas, Oba Lawrence Omowole, has urged Governor Olusegun Mimiko to complete the abandoned projects started by his predecessor, the late Dr. Olusegun Agagu.
He said it was the best way to immortalise the late Agagu.
Agagu’s remains will arrive in the state tomorrow from Lagos and will be laid-in-state at the Democracy Park in Akure, the state capital, and the Civic Centre in Iju-Odo, Okitipupa Local Government.
Oba Omowole, who is the Amapetu of Mahin Kingdom, described the late Agagu as a pragmatic leader, who would be missed by the people.
Speaking with reporters yesterday in Akure, the monarch said the late Agagu was a great politician, whose impact was felt in all sectors during his tenures as a minister and governor.
He urged the Mimiko administration to complete all road projects started by the late Agagu’s administration, particularly in the coastal areas.
Oba Omowole said Mimiko’s visit to the late Agagu’s family in Lagos less than 24 hours after his (Agagu’s) death showed that the era of political bitterness was gone in the state.
