Tonto Dikeh officially announces leave from acting for politics

August 19,2022
Share:

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, has formally left the entertainment world to concentrate on her political career.

In an interview with BBC News Pidgin on Thursday, Dikeh made clear that she was leaving the film industry.

On June 24, Tonye Ibraye of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), who is running for governor of Rivers State, chose the actress to be his running mate.

In her words:

“I have done like two films in 10 years, so you can’t tell me I’m still in the industry.

“I have done like two films in 10 years, so you can’t tell me I’m still in the industry.

I will always appreciate that it was the industry that my path started from, that my shine started from. It is something that I respect, but it’s not something that has been in my life for a while now. So even after the election, it is not something I plan on bringing back.”

Additionally, Tonto congratulated her colleagues, Banky W and Funke Akindele, who are running for political offices.

Watch the interview below:
