    Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo reacts to rumors of her death

    Veteran Nollywood actress cum Labour Party (LP) chieftain Hilda Dokubo, has refuted rumours of her death making the rounds online amid the ongoing crisis in Rivers State.

    TheNewsGuru reports that the actress’s purported death rumours started on Facebook, as it was alleged that people started carrying the thespian’s pictures around while singing funeral songs.

    During an Instagram Live session on Friday, the movie star said she is healthy and will continue to speak the truth about politics and governance.

    Hilda Dokubo stated that money is the least of her cares, stressing that everyone, including Fubara, knows she is not bribable.

    She also maintained that she would keep speaking and advocating for good governance.

    She said, “Everybody, this is me, healthy and strong. I’m not dead. I’m not dying now. I’m not afraid. Do you know how many times blogs have written that I died? Every second, every minute, they’re killing one actor or the other. So, it’s not a big deal.

    “But a lot of people have been worried. I also worry for my friends. People had even gone to visit my mum who is almost 80 years old.

    “If you know anything about me, I am fearless. Whatever I want to do, I will do. And I will say exactly how I want to say it. I was properly raised by very good parents. Money is the least of my cares. Everybody, including (Sim) Fubara (suspended Rivers State governor), knows that I am not ‘bribeable.’ If I were, I wouldn’t be where I am. I wouldn’t be on the side of truth.

    “I have no business organising a rally or whatever you called it to push a man. If you had any sense in your chicken head, you would have known that I love to dance. Every time I attend an event in my community, I dance. If you can’t find me dancing, you can only find me climbing up a stage to make a speech.

    “I would never wish him dead. I am not a proponent of politics with bitterness.

    “I am not a coward and can never be one. No matter what they do, I will not change my position. I will try my best to ignore ignoramuses. But I want you to take this as a fact: I, Hilda, will never, ever wish death on anyone. Not even at my lowest.”

    Hilda Dokubo turns down invitation to join Obidient Movement Advisory Council

    The Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Rivers State, Hilda Dokubo, has publicly rejected the Obidient Movement Advisory Council.

    Dokubo, in a statement issued on Wednesday night, clarified that she was not consulted before her name was included in the list of council members.

    She reaffirmed her commitment to the Labour Party’s leadership under Barrister Julius Abure, stating that her role as LP chairman in Rivers State made it inconsistent for her to take on an additional advisory position within the Obidient Movement.

    She also expressed concern over ongoing divisions within the Labour Party and urged for unity and reconciliation, aligning with the stance of the LP National Chairman, Abure, who has been advocating for internal party harmony.

    Dokubo formally requested to be removed from the Obidient Movement Advisory Council, stating:

    “My attention has been drawn to a list making the rounds on social media, purportedly by a group, the Obidient Movement Advisory Council, wherein my name was listed as a member of the Supporting Advisory Council.”

    “I need to state clearly that I was not consulted by the organisers of the group before my name was included in the said list.”

    “I must also state clearly that I am the state chairman of the Labour Party in Rivers State under the leadership of Barrister Julius Abure.”

    “I can therefore not take on the burden of becoming a member of the Supporting Advisory Council of the Obidient Movement Advisory Council.”

    Her rejection of the role underscores growing internal tensions within the Labour Party and the broader Obidient Movement, as efforts continue to bridge divides and strengthen party unity ahead of future political engagements.

    The Rivers State Labour Party chairman, Hilda Dokubo, has turned down an offer to become a member of the Obidient Movement Advisory Council.

    TheNewsGuru understands that Obidients had nominated the veteran actress cum politician as a member of the Obidient Movement Advisory Council.

    However, taking to her Instagram account on Wednesday night, the LP chieftain stated that the Obidient movement had not consulted her before including her name in the list of members.

    She further emphasised her commitment to the party’s leadership under Barrister Julius Abure, noting that taking on the burden of becoming a member of the Supporting Advisory Council for the Obidient Movement would impede her role in the Labour Party.

    She also stressed the need for unity and reconciliation, saying that divisive actions within the Labour Party family will only stunt the growth of the party.

    She, however, requested to be excused from the Obidient Movement Advisory Council, hoping that good reasons would prevail.

    “My attention has been drawn to a list making the rounds on social media, purportedly by a group, the Obidient Movement Advisory Council, wherein my name was listed as a member of the Supporting Advisory Council.

    “I need to state clearly that I was not consulted by the organisers of the group before my name was included in the said list.

    “I can therefore not take on the burden of becoming a member of the Supporting Advisory Council of the Obidient Movement Advisory Council,” she said.

    “Before I could get close to them, Hilda Dokubo said, ‘This young boy looks like me. He can play my brother.’

    “That was how I finally got my first role after three years and more than 1000 auditions. I didn’t even audition for it.”

    Agents of Acrimony – Hilda Dokubo reacts to her ‘suspension’ from Labour Party

    Nollywood actress and chairperson of the Labour Party in Rivers State Hilda Dokubo has dismissed reports about her suspension from the party.

    TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reported that Dokunbo was suspended by executives of her ward in Asari Toru Local Government Area (LGA) of Rivers over the allegations of financial misconduct, abuse of office and breach of party regulations among others.

    According to the reports, the letter of suspension was addressed to the LP chairman of Asari Toru LGA and signed by some persons who claimed to be the ward executives.

    However, on Friday, Dokubo said that the reports are false, and published letters written by the actual ward executives and Asari Toru LGA executives of LP stating their confidence in her leadership.

    One of the letters described those who announced the false suspension as “agents of acrimony”.

    Dokubo said she had no dealings with the party’s finances at the ward and even at state level.

    “So the world may know that there is no truth in the news making the rounds that I have been suspended by my ward for financial mishandling.

    “Let me start by stating unequivocally that even at the state level I have no dealings with the financials of our dear party, the Labour Party of Nigeria, let alone at the ward level where I am only a member. The party at both levels have financial secretaries and treasurers and I am neither,” she wrote on social media.

    “I am however not ignorant of the cheap attempt to distract the unsuspecting public, and lovers of the Labour Party from the battles we have had to deal with,” Dokubo added.

    In March 2023, LP national chairman Julius Abure announced Dokubo as head of a three-member steering committee for the Rivers State chapter of the party for one month.

    The decision to appoint Dokubo-led team was sequel to the dissolution of a caretaker committee headed by Deinye Pepple.

    Labour Party ‘ll takeover Rivers in 2023 – Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo

    Hilda Dokubo, a popular Nollywood Actress and Labour Party (LP) candidate for Akuku-Toru/Asari-Toru Federal Constituency seat in Rivers, has expressed optimism that the party will takeover the state in 2023.

    Dokubo said this on Thursday in Port Harcourt at the party’s stakeholders meeting, when she reacted to insinuations by some individuals that the party lacked viable structure to win the 2023 election in the state.

    She said that the meeting was aimed at positioning the party for victory at the 2023 general election.

    “Individuals are the structures of every political party and we have our teaming supporters here in the state,” Dokubo said.

    Mr Etete Ekeneoriono, the party’s candidate for Andoni State Constituency seat, advised youths in rural communities to participate in the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in order to beat the July 31 deadline.

    Ekeneoriono also urged residents of fishing communities in Andoni Local Area (LGA) of the state to utilise their voting power in 2023 for a better Nigeria.

    He said that the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) was the most powerful instrument in the country’s electoral system, hence the need to utilise the remaining days to get registered.

    “The party has engaged in wide voter sensitisation tagged “Get Your PVC” in all parts of the state especially in rural communities.

    “The 2023 election is about the future of youths and our dear country; the only instrument available to us as we work toward rebranding the country is our PVCs,” Ekeneoriono said.

  • Buhari eased the lockdown based on false reports- Hilda Dokubo

    Buhari eased the lockdown based on false reports- Hilda Dokubo

    Sensational actress, Hilda Dokubo has averred that the decision to ease the lockdown in Lagos, Ogun and Abuja despite the spike in confirmed cases of COVID-19 recorded in these states and in other parts of the country is a bad one.

     

    Expressing her thoughts via a video posted on her Instagram page, Dokubo noted that President Buhari must have taken the decision to ease the lockdown due to false reports about the current situation of the Coronavirus pandemic in the country.

     

     

    In her words:”Who exactly is lying to the President? Who? The President has announced the easing of the lockdown on the strength of a lie. Who is lying to the President.

    Because on the strength of a lie, he has approved an ease and he has also approved an increase in the number of people to be tested daily to 2500. If they could not accomplish 1, 500 daily, then how are they able to achieve 2, 500 a day?

    The nurses and doctors and all health workers are working extremely hard, breaking themselves into pieces just to save lives and a few people are sitting in the comfort of an airconditioned room reaching an agreement that empowers only their pockets.

    Why make mess of peoples efforts? Why?

    Sometimes when I think of what people that sit in committees come up with, I wonder what runs in their veins. Blood or water? Becasue they react like people who don’t feel the pain of others. You have moved responsibility from yourself and hung it on the neck of the common masses, the same people that you are supposed to be protecting.

    During the lockdown, a lot of the poor were on the streets..why? Because your palliatives did not get to them. They were out there struggling to see how they can feed off the food that you hoard at them.

    So the palliatives didn’t get to them, no one is empowered to carry out research so research is not going on and now, you are throwing people back into the streets, the streets that you haven’t even fumigated, you haven’t even cleaned up but you have told us that this virus is airborne and can stay airborne for 8 hours.

    I don’t understand. Do you even assume that everyone is stupid?

    Let us take for instance Lagos state. With no traffic during the lockdown, they could not trace people who had contact with those who had tested positive to the virus. So imagine now with traffic, how they will trace anyone and if someone needs help, how will the NCDC get to the person?

    Do we want to end up like Ghana who lifted their lockdown prematurely and ended up with all the casualties that they have. Can we handle that casualty?

    Someone is lying to the President and that person needs to stop.” she said
