Herbert Wigwe’s death is “an overwhelming tragedy”, according to President Bola Tinubu, when expressing sadness over the death of the Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, who died in an helicopter crash with his wife and son.
The president released a statement on Sunday, February 11, 2024, where he expressed his deep shock over the death of Wigwe.
Tinubu said in deep shock he received the news of Wigwe’s death, and that of Abimbola Ogunbanjo, a former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc.
The President prayed for the peaceful repose of Wigwe, his wife and son, and others who perished in the helicopter crash in the US.
“President Tinubu describes their passing as “an overwhelming tragedy that is shocking beyond comprehension.”
“The President condoles with the Wigwe and Ogunbanjo families, the business community, and all those impacted by this harrowing incident.
“President Tinubu prays for the peaceful repose of the departed and asks God Almighty to comfort the multitude of Nigerians who are grieving and the families of the deceased at this deeply agonising moment,” the statement read.
Herbert Wigwe, his wife, Chizoba, son, and three others, was on board a Eurocopter EC 130 chopper that crashed last Friday night near Nevada and California.
