Rivers State House of Reps Caucus Grieves over Death of Dr. Herbert Wigwe, his dear Wife, and only Son

 

 

 

The State has been thrown into mourning  and utter despair.

 

 

 

Our hearts are heavy with sorrow as we extend our deepest condolences to the Wigwe’s family and loved ones during this distressing time.

 

 

 

Dr. Herbert Wigwe played a prominent role in the financial banking community, Education and Welfarism.

 

 

 

His leadership at Access Holdings Plc has left an indelible mark on the industry.

 

 

 

As we mourn the loss of our son; a nationalist, lover of Rivers State, and visionary and compassionate leader, we take solace in the very remarkable impact he made in the financial sector, education, and particularly his philanthropic lifestyle and belief that the well-being of a people is the only thing that has intrinsic value.

 

 

 

The Caucus is calling on the United States of America and its relevant agencies, the Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and all relevant institutions and agencies of government to thoroughly investigate the cause of this ill-fated helicopter crash in California and make public its findings.

 

 

 

We fervently hope that the authorities will successfully locate and provide the necessary support to the families of the victims of this devastating incident.

 

 

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wigwe family and all those who have been impacted by this tragic event.

 

 

 

Signed:

 

 

 

Rt. Hon. Dunamenne Dekor Robinson

 

Leader,

 

Rivers State Caucus; House of Representatives.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has hailed Nigeria’s team, Super Eagles for their performance at the just concluded 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire.

 

Sanwo-Olu said the Super Eagles despite losing at the final of the AFCON to the host nation, Cote d’Ivoire, deserved commendation for their superb performance in the competition.

 

Governor Sanwo-Olu in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Gboyega Akosile on Monday, commended the players, the coaching crew and the entire management of the team for making Nigeria proud at the competition by reaching the final against all odds.

 

He said the Super Eagles fought gallantly to advance to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations by defeating many countries, noting that the participation of the team in the final on Sunday is a testament to the determination, resilience and commitment of the Super Eagles to the competition.

 

The Governor urged Nigerians who have looked forward to Nigeria winning the AFCON Cup for the fourth time not to be discouraged by the outcome of the match against Côte d’Ivoire.

 

He appealed to Lagos residents and Nigerians, particularly lovers of football, not to allow the defeat of the Super Eagles at the AFCON final to affect their love for the national team.

 

Governor Sanwo-Olu, who provided venues for Lagos residents to watch the AFCON matches at the Mobolaji Johnson Sports Arena and 26 other centres across the State, urged Nigerians to continue to support national teams in future competitions.
