The Asari-Toru Local Government chapter of the Labour Party in Rivers State has debunked the purported suspension of the state’s caretaker chairman of the party, Hilda Dokubo.
Reports had earlier emerged on Friday, stating that Hilda was suspended by her Ward 3 and Asari-Toru LGA over alleged financial misconduct, and breach of party regulations, among other allegations.
However, the Asari-Toru LGA Labour Party Caretaker Committee, chaired by Horsfall Mac-Jay, said in a statement issued at its executive meeting that Hilda remains the party’s chairman in the state.
The party called on the general public to disregard the purported suspension of Hilda Dokubo, saying it was the handiwork of some phantom elements who are not known to the party.
The statement reads: “It has just been brought to our attention that some agents of acrimony came up with an unfounded claim that our state chairman has been suspended by some phantom elements who are alien to our party membership register in Asari Toru.
“We want to call on the general public to disregard this purported claim, as Madam Hilda Dokubo is a person of high reputation and strong character, a defender of the interests of Asari-Toru; hence, no true son/daughter of Asari-Toru extraction can take such a cowardly move.
“Hilda Dokubo remains our party chairman and she has our support in Ward 3 and Asari-Toru LGA in general.”
