Hilda Dokubo unveils political ambition
Last year, Hilda Dokubo unveiled her political ambition.

“Why I laugh anytime someone says Nollywood isn’t politics” Hilda Dokubo spills
Speaking out over the criticisms she received for her political ambition, Dokubo revealed her reaction, anytime anyone questioned her political ambition.
The veteran stated via her Instagram page, that she always laughs when she hears people say “Nollywood isn’t politics”.
For her, there is no difference between an actor leaving acting for politics and another leaving acting for law.
The veteran noted how people always assume that one will remain where they last saw them.
“I laugh every time somebody says Politics is not Nollywood o, Hilda leaves politics and face acting. I laugh because it’s not too different from leaving acting and go study law. People will always assume that you will remain where they last saw you, that was why on the 3rd day the women returned to the tomb to seek Jesus, even when he informed them that he will rise on the 3rd day. Getting ready for my next responsibility. Please go and collect your PVC. You need it to vote right”.
