Chairperson of the Labour Party (LP) in Rivers State, Hilda Dokubo, has denied rumours of her suspension from the party.
On Thursday, reports emerged that Mrs Dokubo was suspended as a party member in her ward, Asari Toru Local Government Area of the state.
The suspension supposedly followed an emergency meeting of the party’s ward executive committee on 15 July, which LGA executives then ratified on 18 July.
The alleged reasons for her suspension included financial misconduct, abuse of office and party regulations violations.
“So these are all PDP boys carrying out the instructions of their master. Ordinarily, I’d have let it go, but because the internet never forgets, I want to put my part of the story out there so that you know that at no time was I suspended; at no time did I have any delays whatsoever with money. We do not have money. I am chairman of the Labour Party, River State, not Financial Secretary or Treasurer. I am not even an executive of Ward 3. I am the Labour Party chairman, River State. So I think they missed the point out there.”
Mrs Dokubo, 54, was appointed as the state party’s chairperson in March 2023. She denied the allegations and added that her 30-year career in Nollywood and ten years with international organisations had been scandal-free.
