The burial ceremony of Herbert Wigwe, his wife, and son was meant to be a somber occasion, a time for reflection and mourning, however, the political brickbats exchanged by Senator Godswill Akpabio and Governor Simi Fubara were in the eyes of many a taint.

Amidst the gathering of mourners paying their last respects, the presence of politicians introduced an element of discord as they engaged in verbal sparring, seemingly oblivious to the gravity of the occasion. Senator Godswill Akpabio’s remarks, in particular, came under scrutiny for their perceived lack of decorum, prompting disapproval from attendees.

As the politicians bantered back and forth, the atmosphere grew tense, with many expressing dismay at the spectacle unfolding before them. The funeral, intended as a moment of closure and remembrance, instead became a stage for political theatrics, leaving mourners disheartened and disillusioned.

In the aftermath of the controversy, calls emerged for greater reverence and respect for the deceased and their grieving loved ones. The episode served as a sobering reminder of the need to uphold dignity and decorum, even in moments of political discourse, out of respect for the departed and their families.

Many Nigerians are urging the politicians to reflect on their actions and extend a heartfelt apology to the bereaved family, recognizing the need for unity and empathy during this difficult time.

As the public discourse continues, Nigerians are hopeful that Governor Fubara and Senate President Akpabio will heed the call for reconciliation and offer apology to the Wigwe family, restoring dignity and respect to the memory of the departed.
