Veteran Nollywood actress and politician, Hilda Dokubo, has accused Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, of attempting to seize control of the economic core of Rivers State.
Dokubo made this statement in response to the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State and the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy for six months.
Reports indicate that the President declared a state of emergency in Rivers State and imposed a six-month suspension on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and members of the House of Assembly.
In a national address on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, Tinubu explained that his decision followed an evaluation of the political crisis in Rivers State, a move that has sparked varying reactions nationwide.
In a post on her Instagram page, the actress condemned the President’s action as shameless, urging him to openly admit his intention to annex Rivers State.
“State of emergency because for two years we have had peace!
“State of emergency because you want to capture the economic soul of Rivers State!
“State of emergency because of one man?
“Shameless! Perhaps Mr. President should say he wants to annex 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.”
