Actress and politician Hilda Dokubo denies suspension from the Labour Party in Rivers State

Dokubo, who serves as the LP chairman in Rivers State, was reportedly suspended by the party’s county executive committee on Thursday over alleged financial misconduct, but she denied the allegations in a viral video posted on Instagram.

“I was never suspended” claimed Dokubo. “All persons mentioned in this publication are not members of the Labour Party. The LP has a register and knows all its members, especially in the Asari Toru community. These are PDP boys who carry out the orders of their master.”

Dokubo questioned the motives behind the allegations, pointing to her flawless career in Nollywood and decades of work with international organizations. “I have worked in Nollywood for over 30 years without any scandal or blemish. My work is rooted in integrity and honor, which are thoroughly checked before I am given any assignment.”

She described the situation as an example of corruption targeting her refusal to accept bribes or threats. “We are currently renewing membership and registering new members to strengthen our communities. This attempt to discredit me is a consequence of my refusal to engage in corrupt practices.”

Dokubo clarified her role within the party and stressed that she had nothing to do with party finances. “I am the chairman of the party in Rivers State, not the financial secretary or treasurer. I am not even a District 3 executive committee member. The allegations are baseless and unfounded.”

The actress turned politician ended her statement by reaffirming her commitment to integrity and transparency in her political engagement.
