"On
behalf of himself, his family and the Federal Government, President
Jonathan extends condolences to all families who lost members in the
plane crash, and the government and people of Ondo State who have been
plunged into sorrow yet again while preparing to lay their former
governor to rest.
"The

they grapple with the further loss of beloved relatives and associates
so soon after losing their husband, father and mentor.

prays that God Almighty will comfort the Agagu family, as well as their
relatives and friends, and grant them the divine grace they will

further actions, as may become necessary," the statement read.
