Former President John Dramani Mahama has sent his condolences to the family of the late Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Access Bank, Dr. Herbert Wigwe, following a tragic incident that claimed his life together with his wife and son.
Mr. Wigwe and five other people were confirmed dead in a helicopter crash in California, United States, on Friday, February 9, 2024.
Mr. Mahama took to social media to express his condolences and remarked that he found it difficult to comprehend Dr. Wigwe’s passing.
“It’s difficult coming to terms with the tragic accident that claimed the lives of my dear friend Herbert Wigwe, his wife and son, along with three others.
My sympathies go out to the families of those who perished in the tragic accident, and our thoughts are with Herbert’s surviving children and the families of all who died,” he wrote on Facebook.
He recounted how he met Mr. Wigwe and described him as a hard-working young man, adding that it is no surprise to him that Access Bank is recognised globally.
“I had the privilege of knowing Herbert more closely from 2009 during his setting up of the Access Bank branch in Ghana. He came across as a brilliant and determined young man who was on a swift upward trajectory. This is evident in the growth of Access Bank into a widely recognised global brand.
