Veteran Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo, has been appointed the Acting Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) in Rivers State following the dissolution of the party’s caretaker committee led by Dienye Pepple.
In a statement signed on Thursday by the National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, the party stated that the appointment of Dokubo followed the tenure expiration of the mandate of the caretaker committee and she would oversee the conduct of the governorship and state assembly elections rescheduled for March 18.
Other members of the committee, according to Abure, include Philip Loveday as Secretary and Gogo Wellington, as the Publicity Secretary.
The leadership of the LP had, on Tuesday, announced the dissolution of the executive council of its Rivers State branch with immediate effect due to an internal crisis that rocked the party following reports that the state chapter of the party had collapsed its structure to endorse the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Sim Fubara
