Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo, has questioned what she perceives as a glaring contradiction in Nigerian politics.
Dokubo questioned the reason why political stakeholders such as former Senate President David Mark and ex-Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai are championing the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a platform to challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC), while their children remain firmly rooted in the ruling party.
She shared her thoughts online, posting photos of Mohammed Bello El-Rufai and Blessing Onyeche Onuh.
She wrote on X, “Bello El-Rufai is El Rufai’s son, and Blessing Onuh is David Mark’s daughter. Both are card-carrying members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the same party their fathers now publicly criticise and claim they want to rescue Nigeria from.
“Why and how?” Dokubo asked. “Please, are their fathers trying to rescue us from their children? Haa, people, we need to start asking the right questions.”
Meanwhile, Dokubo has criticised Rivers State’s sole administrator, Vice Admiral Ette Ibas (retired), over what she described as reckless and unaccountable governance.
In a video clip seen by Naija News, Dokubo expressed outrage, saying the people of Rivers State are witnessing a form of leadership that lacks transparency, accountability, and any connection to the will of the people.
She accused the administrator of signing off on a ₦1.48 trillion budget without going through any elected representatives or public scrutiny.
According to her, no debate, legislative review, or citizen input was allowed before the budget was approved and made official.
Dokubo particularly pointed at some items in the budget, questioning the rationale behind spending ₦24 billion on new CCTV installations at the Government House, a facility already equipped with security systems.
She also raised concern over another ₦30 billion allocated for gunboats, questioning the motive behind such a purchase.
She said: “Their so-called administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-ette, retired, whatever his name is, unveiled a jaw-dropping 1.48 trillion budget. Not a dime of that budget passed through any elected officer. No debates, no public input, no transparency.
“Just one man, handpicked and imposed. Waved a pen and signed on a paper and called it our budget. A budget that was going to be like signing away billions of our commonwealth. Your wealth and mine.”
