DISTINGUISHED individuals, visitors, supporters, relatives, and acquaintances of Herbert Wigwe have assembled in Omueke, located in the Isiokpo community of Ikwerre Local Government Area in Rivers State.
They have come together for the wake keep of the late Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Access Holdings, along with his wife and son.
Wigwe, his wife Chizoba, and their eldest son Chizzy tragically lost their lives in an airplane crash in the US roughly a month ago.
While the funeral ceremonies for the Wigwe family commenced earlier in the week, notable figures have gathered in Rivers State in preparation for their interment.
Among the attendees who have come to pay their final respects before the burial ceremony scheduled for Saturday are the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike; Governor of Rivers State, Siminalyi Fubara; the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate for the 2023 election Peter Obi; and Tonye Cole, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Rivers State for 2023 .
