Dignitaries, guests, well-wishers, family, and friends of the late Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, have converged at Omueke in the Isiokpo community of Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State for their Christian wake.

Wigwe, his wife Chizoba, and their eldest son Chizzy were tragically involved in an air crash in the US about a month ago, leading to their untimely demise.

While funeral rites for the Wigwes commenced earlier in the week, dignitaries from various spheres of life have gathered in Rivers State in preparation for their burial.

Among those present to pay their last respects ahead of the burial ceremony scheduled for Saturday include 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 the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Rivers State for 2023, Tonye Cole.
