Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo, has been appointed as the new acting chairman of the River State chapter of Labour party.
A statement signed by the national chairman, Julius Abure, on Thursday, stated that the appointment of Dokubo followed the tenure expiration and dissolution of the caretaker committee led by Dienye Pepple.
Other members of the committee include Philip Loveday as secretary and Gogo Wellington as publicity secretary.
Abure added that the appointment letter was for one month.
It would be recalled that the leadership of the Labour Party, on Tuesday, announced the dissolution of the executive council of its Rivers State branch with immediate effect.
According to a statement signed by Julius Abure, the state officials of the party were removed for gross anti-party activities and corruption in the management of the party’s funds.
The dissolution came in the wake of reports that the state chapter of the party had collapsed its structure to endorse the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Sim Fubara.
