Doctors Fighting to Save Feyi Agagu's LIFE after Thursday's #Plane Crash. Missed Farewell to DAD! #AgaguCrash


The remains of the former governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, were buried in a new casket in his home town in Iju Odo, Ondo State, on Friday in a sombre atmosphere devoid of any form of pomp and pageantry. Though there was a reception at the Civic Centre in the village, most of the guests shunned the reception.

Dignitaries who attended included former Governors Gbenga Daniel, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Segun Oni, Alao Akala and other PDP chieftains.The Minister of Communications, Mrs. Omobola Johnson and Senator Boluaji Kunlere, (Ondo South) were also in attendance.

The entire village wore a mournful look with villagers discussing the tragic plane crash that led to the death of 13 people in Lagos on Thursday. Though there was a large turnout of the villagers and dignitaries, the church service was solemn.Meanwhile, doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, are still battling to save the life of Feyi Agagu, the son of the late governor, who was involved in the crash. He was moved to a new ward on Friday for privacy.
I learned Feyi was earlier Friday being moved from the surgical emergency ward in LASUTH to the more comfortable Bola Ahmed Tinubu ward where he would have a better chance of survival.

Doctors who spoke on condition of anonymity all confirmed that Agagu’s son would receive better medical attention at the new ward which boasts of more medical personnel and state-of-the-art equipment.

Is the general public eligible for that ward though? An issue we must ask ourselves when we are children of high ranking politicians.
“There are more staff there, more modern equipment and they will be able to monitor him every minute. He has a better chance of survival there,” a doctor said pleading not to be quoted because she is not authorised to speak with reporters.

Sources observed that Feyi was not unconscious and could recognise family members and friends who were in the hospital today.

But he was weak, did not speak and seemed to be under pains. He tried painfully to make a sign to his relatives but his hand came down almost immediately.

Feyi was among the lucky seven survivors who are receiving treatment in three hospitals in Lagos.

Five of those who are receiving treatment are in LASUTH while one is at the Airforce medical centre and the other is in Gbagada General Hospital, said Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, who visited the survivors on Friday morning.

Idris said he was satisfied with the level of attention the patients were receiving.

He said one of the survivors had a surgery on Thursday night and three were doing well and one is in critical condition.
