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 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,”
she said.
