Indications have emerged that despite the incident of plane
crash involving the corpse of the late Agagu and some of his family member in
Lagos today, the family of the deceased and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are
insisting of going on with the burial ceremony tomorrow at Iju Odo in Okitipupa
local government.
DailyPost gathered that the family had already sent a team
to Lagos to convey the corpse which was said to be intact despite the crash
which claimed over 11 souls including a Commissioner in Ondo State, Mr. Deji
Falae. The family said since Agagu's son, Feyi and daughters in-law survived
the crash, nothing would stop the burial.A source had disclosed that Feyi, had spoke with his mother and other family members, an indication that he was in good condition.
However, A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP], Chief Olusola Oke, who was in distress said, "the disasters are tasking our souls and breaking our hearts. Oke, who was flanked by other PDP Chieftains, said "at a time we were thinking of giving triumphant entry for a peaceful commitment to mother earth, of our great leader, this disaster struck to shake his biological, political and social families to their very existence.
"While we commiserate with the families of those who
lost their lives, we thank God for saving the life of the late Agagu only son,
[Feyi] for the sake of sustaining the former governor's dynasty.
"We were also full of praises that the former
President, Olusegun Obasanjo son, Gbenga who was on board of the plane has also
been reported to have survived the ordeal.Oke called for full investigations of the disaster, which he attributed to carelessness or sabotage.
He also thanked God that Agagu's remains were intact saying "our leader will still be given the deserved burial, part of which had already started".
According to the PDP leader, all praise should also go to those who rescued the survivors of the plane crash, stressing that the burial would resume with minimal delay after due consultation with Agagu's family and the state government.
The State PDP Chairman, Mr. Ebenezer Alabi said the late Agagu does not deserve what is happening to him, saying "we are still very shock, but we are consoled that his heir-apparent did not die, that is the only joy we have.
Also, the Deputy Governorship Candidate of PDP, Hon. Saka Lawal called for prayers in the state, adding that the people need to move closer to God for deliverance.
"Ondo State needs prayer. What has happened is just for us to move closer to God. I will like to say, this has never occurred in the history of Ondo State. I will like to sympathize with the people of the state. It is unfortunate that our dear state is going through this kind of disaster. Again, we need prayer; everybody must come together for divine intervention from the hands of the evil forces". Lawal said.
When Daily Post visited the residence of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation [SGF], Chief Olu Falae who is the father of the Commissioner, sympathizers were in prayer session for the survival of Deji, the Commissioner.
We also observed that Falae, who was surrounded by two friends kept mum, and only responded in Yoruba Language by saying "E se oo, E se oo" meaning "thank you, thank you” repeatedly.
