Rivers: Labour Party suspends chairperson
The Labour Party chairwoman in Rivers, Hilda Dokubo, was suspended Thursday as a member in her ward, Asari Toru LGA.
The suspension was conveyed in a letter written to the Labour Party chairman of the Asari Toru LGA and signed by the ward chairman, Ajalamonia Ibama, the secretary, Lole Amacheer and the treasurer, Emmanuel Ibamathe.
Others who signed the letter were the women’s leader, Osaki Dieypiriye, and the publicity secretary, Osaki Dokubo.

The ward executives said the decision was made following a thorough investigation into these allegations.
