President Bola Tinubu has expressed his condolences for the passing of Herbert Wigwe, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings.
The President expressed shock and deep grief at learning of the passing of Mr. Abimbola Ogunbanjo, a former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc, and Mr. Herbert Wigwe, a prominent banker and entrepreneur, in a statement released on Sunday by his media assistant, Ajuri Ngelale
“President Tinubu describes their passing as “an overwhelming tragedy that is shocking beyond comprehension,” the statement partly reads.
“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 agonizing moment.”
Among the six crew members aboard the doomed plane were Wigwe, his wife, and their son.
Many Nigerians were moved to express their shock and gratitude at their untimely passing.
The aircraft, a Eurocopter EC 130, crashed last Friday night close to Nipton, between Nevada and California, on its way to Las Vegas.
