Labour Party presidential candidate for the 2023 general election, Peter Obi and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, were among top dignitaries who attended the Christian wake of the late Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, his wife, and son.



Governor of Rivers State, Siminalyi Fubara, and the man he defeated at the last election in the state Tonye Cole of All Progressives Congress were also among those in attendance to pay their final respects before the burial ceremony scheduled for Saturday.

The bodies of the late Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Herbert Wigwe, as well as those of his wife, Chizoba and son, Chizitere, have arrived in Nigeria ahead of their burial.
