Shyngle Wigwe, father of late Access Bank Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Herbert Wigwe, has denied reports he is dragging his late son’s estate with his grandchildren.
Herbert, alongside his wife and eldest son, died in a helicopter crash in the United States in February 2024.
There have been rumors of a possible battle for the control of Herbert’s, with unconfirmed reports claiming that his 90-year-old father is at the center of it.
The rumor mongers claimed that Shyngle is fighting with late Herbert’s children, particularly his oldest child, a female, for the wealth he left behind.
However, in a recent chat with NTA, Wigwe dismissed the claim, stating that he does not need enormous wealth at his age.
‘’How can I want to claim Herbert’s properties? Who is the best person to defend Herbert’s properties? The father or a friend? The Father at 90 years? My grandchildren are there! Haba! I beg your pardon! How many more days have I got to live?” he queried.
“So what will I do with Herbert’s properties? I trained Herbert. I brought him up, not a single penny from anybody went in to bringing Herbert up? The mother is here.
“What will I do with Herbert’s wealth? ‘’he asked
The bereaved father of the late banking giant also revealed that he suffered a stroke after the demise of his son.
