Posting the video on her page and reacting to it, Dokubo wrote; ‘’Can we all give him a big round of applause.Kai! Can you all see why they don’t speak? Why those of us who can speak, annoy them?. See what a member of the house of representatives is doing to his people. Let me go and sleep bikonu’’
Meanwhile, Dokubo, has dismissed rumours of her death making the rounds online amid the ongoing political tension in Rivers State.
All Facts Newspaper reports that Dokubo’s purported death had started on Facebook after some people alleged that the suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, contracted her to organise and chair a rally to put pressure on President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on March 25, 2025.
After the incident, it was also alleged that people started carrying the thepians’ pictures around while singing funeral songs.
In response, the movie star, during an Instagram Live session on Friday, said she is healthy and would continue to speak the truth on politics and governance.
Hilda Dokubo stated that money is the least of her cares, stressing that everyone, including Fubara, knows she is not bribable.
She also maintained that she would keep speaking and advocating for good governance.
She said, “Everybody, this is me, healthy and strong. I’m not dead. I’m not dying now. I’m not afraid. Do you know how many times blogs have written that I died? Every second, every minute, they’re killing one actor or the other. So, it’s not a big deal.
“But a lot of people have been worried. I also worry for my friends. People had even gone to visit my mum who is almost 80 years old.
