The Senator representing Rivers East Senatorial District and Chairman Senate Committee on Federal Character and Intergovernmental Affairs, Distinguished Senator Chief Allwell Heacho Onyesoh, (DSSRS) has expressed shock over the sudden demise of his brother and constituent, Dr. Herbert Onyewumbu Wigwe, CON, who tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash in the United States of America over the weekend among others.

Dr. Wigwe, who was Group Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings PLC, died in the crash with his wife Doreen, their son Chizi, and former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group PLC, Mr. Abimbola Ogunbanjo, MFR.

Since joining Access Holdings PLC in 2002 and subsequently becoming its CEO in 2014, Dr. Wigwe has played an outstanding role in establishing the bank as a household name in Nigeria and beyond the African continent.

The senator in a press statement e-signed by his Media Aide, Oriri Peter noted that Dr. Wigwe has left a huge vacuum in the banking sector and the corporate world by extension, urging the corporate organisations that he served to sustain his lasting legacy.

The Senator mourn the untimely loss of Dr. Wigwe, whose departure is felt all over the World especially in Rivers State, where he was regarded as a true gem.

Senator Onyesoh further extends his heartfelt condolences to Dr. Wigwe’s immediate family, the people of Rivers East, and the entire nation. He prays for God’s strength and solace to be with them during this challenging moment.

Kama Dclared Winner Of Ohanivo APC Primaries, Asures Of More Democracy Dividends Alex Odeh Member representing Ohaozara, Onicha and Ivo(Ohanivo)¹Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Nkemkanma Kama, has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the forthcoming general election, pledging to deliver more democratic dividends to his constituents. Speaking shortly after his victory at the party primaries, Kama expressed excitement and gratitude to party stakeholders, supporters and the state leadership for giving him another opportunity to serve. “I’m elated and very happy for being given another opportunity to serve my people. I’m grateful to all the stakeholders, our leaders, our constituents and most importantly our governor who stood by us throughout the process. Above all, I thank God for giving us this opportunity to serve again.” The lawmaker described the turnout and mobilisation witnessed during the primaries as only a glimpse of what to expect during the general elections. “This is nothing compared to what will happen during the general election,” Kama stated confidently. “This is just a piece of cake for what is going to happen during the election proper.” Kama assured constituents that his second term would usher in greater development and more opportunities for the constituency. According to him, his return to the National Assembly would strengthen the constituency’s chances of attracting more federal projects and benefits, especially as a ranking member of the House. “More development and more ability to attract goodies to our constituency is what our people should expect,” he said. “We have only done one budget, and now we are preparing for the second budget cycle. We’ll revisit communities we promised projects and ensure we fulfil those promises before moving forward.” He added that retaining experienced lawmakers was crucial to securing greater influence and benefits for the constituency. “A ranking member is a ranking member; you can’t buy that in the market,” he noted. “I believe our governor, being a former parliamentarian, understands the importance of having ranking lawmakers who can attract more development to the constituency.” Also speaking after the primaries, Ebonyi State Commissioner for ICT, Tochukwu Okorie, said the massive turnout and patience of party supporters reflected the confidence of the people in the APC. “I align myself with the feelings of my people.When you look at the crowd and the fact that they have waited here since morning, it shows they are happy and satisfied with the party.”, he said.
