Former President John Mahama has extended his condolences to the family of the late Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Bank, Dr Herbert Wigwe.
Taking to his social media platform on Monday, February 12, Mr John Mahama said it was difficult to accept Dr Wigwe's death.
The 2024 presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) also sympathised with the family members of the other individuals who were traveling with the business executive when the unfortunate incident occurred.
“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,” the Facebook post read.
In recounting his initial encounter with the late Dr Wigwe, Mr Mahama described him as a brilliant young man on a swift upward trajectory.
He emphasised that it comes as no surprise that Access Bank is a globally recognised brand. He stressed that the legacy of the deceased in the finance and banking sector will always be remembered.
“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.
“Herbert's legacy in the finance and banking sector will always be remembered. RIP,” he mourned.
Dr Wigwe was killed in a helicopter crash in the United States of America, on Friday, February 9, 2024, evening.
He was among six people including the wife and son when the helicopter crashed.
