These are certainly not the best of times for Isoko, Delta State-born Betty Ubeku. Her husband and political stalwart, Chief Abel Ubeku, was the first African to be appointed Managing Director and Chief Executive of Guinness Nigeria Plc in 1982.The latter passed away last March after a protracted illness.
Following his death, a running battle ensued between Betty and Abel Ubeku’s only son, Metomo Ubeku. Already there are talks that burial arrangements scheduled to begin this month may no longer hold as Metomo has gone to seek legal means to prevent Betty from carrying on with the funeral programme. The wait is on to see who will blink first.
