Her suspension has sparked attention, given her prominence in the party and the entertainment industry.
The ward executives’ letter conveyed the suspension to the LP chairman in Asari Toru, highlighting the seriousness of the allegations. Dokubo’s suspension has raised questions about her future in the party and her political aspirations.
