The Senator Representing Delta North, Ned Munir Nwoko, has expressed grief over the demise of Hermish Harding, his billionaire friend and business partner in the Titanic submarine tragedy.
Harding tragically died alongside others during a submarine expedition to visit the ruins of the Titanic ship.
The casualties included OceanGate Founder, Stockton Rush; French Diver, Paul-Henri Nargeolet; Pakistani Businessman, Shahzada Dawood, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman.
It had been reported that Nwoko’s recent inauguration as one of the senators of the 10th National Assembly prevented him from joining Harding on the ill-fated Titanic expedition.
Nwoko, a billionaire businessman and politician, took to his official Instagram account to mourn the passing of his friend and business partner.
“I have lost a very dear friend and business partner, Captain Hermish Harding. We both went on a very dangerous expedition to the Southpole Antarctica few years back.
“He was a gulf stream pilot who flew across the world in a record breaking expedition by Guinness World Record for circumnavigation of the earth some years ago.
“He descended into the Mariana. He also invited me on his space shuttle last year and this very Titan ill-fated adventure, but I was tied down with national duties. Above all, he was a partner on the various researches into eradication of malaria in Africa project. He was very enthusiastic about it and always gave his support at every given opportunity.
“His last message to me was this last Sunday when he told me they were ready to dive to the titanic if the weather permitted. He loved adventure and challenges. My heart bleeds for his dear wife and kids who have become family friends over the years. We will surely miss his wealth of experience,” Nwoko wrote.
