Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has said, that the state will immortalise the late Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Dr Herbert Wigwe, to keep his legacies alive.
This was contained in a statement by the governor’s aide, Boniface Onyedi.
The Rivers governor said the late Wigwe lived an impactful life, affecting society positively, saying the state was determined to immortalise him as a worthy son of the state.
A statement reads in part, “I have come to understand something about life, those that God has favoured, blessed and truly cherish, He does not like them to stay too long on earth because He doesn’t want them to get corrupted.
“But the wicked ones, the cruel, that you are praying to die, will stay and they will not die. So, you should understand that what has happened to our brother and his family, is truly painful to everyone.”
Wigwe, alongside his wife, Chizoba, and son, Chizi, died in a helicopter crash in the US on February 9.
The crash also claimed the lives of a former Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, and two crew members.
