Delta State Governor, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan has described the late Dr Abel
\nKprogidi Ubeku as a statesman, outstanding academic and father to all
\nbeyond his family where he was the patriarch.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the news of the demise of the first indigenous Managing
\nDirector of Guinness Nigeria, the Governor in a statement by Felix Ofou,
\nhis Press Secretary also described the late Ubeku as a good natured
\npersonality who harboured no malice and thought no evil towards others.<\/p>\n
“One factor that played out each time you met the late Ubeku was his good
\nnatured personality. For a man who had attained such an enviable height in
\nlife, you are also struck by his unmistakeable humility and open
\nhandedness. You immediately see the traits of a statesman”, he pointed
\nout.<\/p>\n
Governor Uduaghan said Dr Ubeku’s wisdom and wise jokes will be greatly
\nmissed by him and all those who had the good fortune of having an
\nencounter with the man while alive, adding that the former presidential
\naspirant was a father to him.<\/p>\n
“High Chief Ubeku was a man endowed with abundant wisdom. His bag of jokes
\nwere almost inexhaustible. Yet, you could not doubt his sound academic
\nstature or brilliance. That was why he was like a father to me. It is
\nreally hard to imagine that such an iconic figure has gone to meet the
\nCreator of the universe”, he enthused.<\/p>\n
The governor stated that the death was a big blow to Nigeria, Delta State,
\nthe Isoko nation, where the deceased hailed from as well as the entire
