Thieves Wanted To Dress Me In Their Dirty Coat – Hilda Dokubo Denies Reports That She Was Suspended From Labour Party

Hilda Dokubo

Veteran actress cum politician, Hilda Dokubo has debunked media reports that she was suspended from the Labour Party (LP) at her ward in Asari Toru local government area (LGA) of Rivers state.

According to the reports, Dokubo, the LP’s chairperson in Rivers was suspended on Thursday, July 18, after the party’s ward executive committee held an emergency meeting on July 15.

In the report, it was alleged that she was accused of financial misconduct, abuse of office, and breach of party regulations, among other allegations.

A letter addressed to the LP chairman of Asari Toru and signed by the ward chairman Ajalamonia Ibama, Lole Amacheer, the secretary; and Emmanuel Ibamathe, the treasurer; indicated her suspension.

However,  Hilda took to Instagram today, July 22, to slam those pushing the false narrative.

She wrote: “Thank God my parents raised me well, otherwise the things king of structure has tried these few days… thieves wanted to dress me in their dirty coat.”

She also slammed “paid media” for spreading lies about her.

Before sharing the post, she had shared a video via Instagram addressing her alleged suspension.

Dokubo said in the video released on Sunday, July 21, “At no point was I suspended from the Labour Party.”



She claimed the names mentioned in the publication were all “Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) members trying to tarnish my image”.

She alleged that she had been “coerced, threatened, bribed” but the allegations were a “new way to hurt me”.

“I was never suspended. Everybody in that publication is a non-Labour Party member because the Labour Party has a register and we know all our members, especially in Asarito torí which is a small community. So these are all PDP boys carrying out the instructions of their master,” she said.

“So the question would be why? For over 30 years, I have worked in Nollywood with no blemish, no scandal. I have worked for 10 years with international organizations. Not one day was it mentioned that I took anything. Because my work is heavy on integrity and honour. Those are the things they investigate before any job is given to you.

“When they say you venture into politics, you get into murky water. This is corruption pushing back. This is why I am doing this broadcast this may just be one of several that would come. So let me preempt you.



“My lovers we have work to do. We are doing revalidation of membership and registering members, strengthening our wards. Stay focused do not get distracted. When people try to bribe you and you refuse to be bribed, they threaten you and you refuse to be threatened. They are most definitely going to look for a way to hurt you.

“At no time was I suspended. Had no time to have any dealings with money. We do not have money. I am the chairman of the Labour Party Rivers state, not a financial secretary or treasurer, I am not even an executive of ward 3. So I think they missed the point out there. So we go back to work.”
