Nollywood actress Hilda Dokubo has slammed President Tinubu for declaring a State of emergency in her state, Rivers State.
Kemi Filani reported on Tuesday that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had declared a state of emergency in Rivers state. He said he has taken the decision after evaluating the political crisis in the state, and suspending Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy for six months.
Tinubu also suspended all elected members of the House of Assembly of Rivers State and nominated Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd) as Administrator to take charge of the affairs of the state.
Taking to her Instagram story, Hilda pondered on if Tinubu was declaring a State of emergency because Rivers State has been at peace for two years or to capture their economy or because of one man. Describing his action as shameless, she stated that the President should admit he wants to annex Rivers State.
“State of emergency because for two years we have had peace!
State of emergency because you want to capture the economy soul of Rivers State!
State of emergency because of one man?
Shameless!
Perhaps Mr President should say he wants to annexed Rivers State”.
The Animal Farm by George Orwell should be given to every Rivers State citizen as palliative. Meantime, someone tell Mr Jones to rein in his pigs”.
In 2023, Dokubo lashed out at Delta politician Okowa’s daughter following her appeal to Peter Obi’s supporters. Dokubo stated that politicians are beginning to confess, as she went on to liken them to the local witches at Okere junction. Hilda questioned if the rest of the politicians would confess or would rather have their offspring live with the shame they had left them.
In another post, days before the 2023 General elections, Hilda had asked an important question about her state of origin, Rivers State. She questioned if Rivers State was still a Christian state or now a confused state. She further questioned if Wike’s political greed and ambition had made him deflect from his words.
This came after her State Governor, Wike, who claimed that Rivers is a Christian and state after Ganduje threatened to sue him over the false mosque demolition news they spread in the North, supported APC’s Muslim Muslim ticket.
In 2022, the veteran actress revealed her reaction anytime anyone questioned her political ambition or questioned celebrities who delved into politics. The veteran stated that she always laughs when she hears such questions, as there is no difference between an actor leaving acting for politics and another leaving acting for law.
