The Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) has denied
appointing Tonto Dikeh’s as an Ambassador for Peace Building.
The Nollywood actress had taken to her Instagram account on
Friday to announce that she’s now a “proud Nigeria Christian Pilgrims
Commission (NCPC) Ambassador for Peace Building.”
She also urged her followers to pray for her as she embarks
on peace building across the six geopolitical zones of the nation because peace
is indispensable.
The news, however, generated reactions from Nigerians on social media who were of the opinion that the controversial actress is not the right person for the position because of her lifestyle.
Reacting, the NCPC in a statement released on Friday
disowned the appointment.
The statement read:
“The Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission NCPC wishes to
state that King Tonto Dikeh paid an official courtesy visit to the Executive
Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission Rev Yakubu Pam on 25th
February, 2021 at the corporate headquarters of the Commission in Abuja.
“As the founder of Tonto Dikeh Foundation, she expressed her
willingness and interest in partnering with the Commission in the area of peace
building.
“She equally cashed in on the visit to commend the NCPC boss
for his positive and relentless peace initiatives across the country.
“However, we are suddenly clouded with claims the actress
that she has been officially appointed as Ambassador of peace by this great
Commission. This claim has gone viral in the media.
“The Commission frowns at this claim which is a clear
misrepresentation of what transpired and wishes to state that it is a false
information.
“The fact remains that the Executive Secretary of NCPC never
appointed Tonto Dikeh an Ambassador of Peace for NCPC.
“Nevertheless, we appreciate her desire to partner with us
in our peace building initiatives and in the area of pilgrimage sponsorship to
the Holy Land.”
