"Nothing do me..." Segun Agagu's son speaks at hospital + How Obasanjo almost passed out over news of his son's involvement in the crash



Feyi Agagu

Feyi, the son of late former Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Agagu, has said that he is alright and no one should worry about his state.

Feyi spoke when his friends, led by Jide Obanikoro, the son of a former Nigeria’s ambassador to Ghana, Musiliu Obanikoro, visited him at the Surgical Emergency ward of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja where he and other victims of the Associated Airline plane crash were rushed to on Thursday.

The victim, who spoke normally, said he became unconscious after feeling the impact of the aeroplane hitting the ground but woke up later.

He had a neck support and some bandages but he giggled when he saw his friends wearing worried faces.

While being wheeled to the Intensive Care Unit for a body scan, the victim threw his right thumb up to his friends, saying ‘nothing do me’.

Meanwhile, amid confusion that trailed yesterday’s plane crash, former president Olusegun Obasanjo, was thrown into temporary shock yesterday when the rumoured death of his son, Gbenga also got to him.

Obasanjo had just finished addressing over 400 head boys and head girls of primary schools from Lagos, Ogun and Oyo states who had converged at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta for the workshop tagged “Leadership Training for Young Leaders” when a caller informed him on the phone about the rumoured involvement of his son in the crash.

The former President, whose countenance immediately changed, ended the call and became uncomfortable throughout the few minutes that the photo session lasted.

Immediately the photo session was over, Obasanjo grabbed Mabogunje’s hand and started moving to the left side of the OOPL with Okebukola and other dignitaries and his security aides in tow.

They went into one of the chalets at the end of the library complex where they spent about 40 minutes and later drove off to an unknown destination.

Gbenga Obasanjo was actually meant to be on that plane to represent his father, Olusegun Obasanjo, at the event but stayed back in Atlanta, Georgia to attend to some things.
