The late Herbert Wigwe, the Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings Plc, passed away too soon, according to Dr. Samuel Nwanosike, the Chairman of the Ikwerre Local Government Area in Rivers State. He went on to say that despite his age, the late financial magnate accomplished everything that most individuals half his age could not.
Nwanosike portrayed the late Wigwe as a compassionate man who saw everyone in his visions, according the Vanguard story. He said his kid had contacted him from school the day Wigwe passed away, asking why Wigwe should die at this particular time.
He said that Wigwe’s death is a big disaster to everyone who knew him one way or the other, and said that the light in their community has gone dim.
He said, “His vision was so big that it contained everybody. There was space in his life to accommodate everybody. My son called me from his school and asked me the same question: why should he die now? The death of Wigwe is such a big disaster to us and those who knew him in one way or another. Our candle, our light has dimmed. This is sad and I don’t know how to describe it.”
He gave the assurance that the people of Ikwerre will immortalize the late Wigwe, not because he is the local government chairman, but because of how important Wigwe was to the Ikwerre people.
Wigwe, his wife and son are set to be buried in Isiokpo community, and several notable personalities are in the community to pay their last respects to the man whom many described as a philanthropist. .
