Tonto Dikeh has disclosed that she would not be returning to
Nollywood after the governorship election in Rivers State.
Recall that the actress was announced as the deputy
governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers
State.
Speaking with BBC News Pidgin, Tonto said she will not
return to acting even if her party loses the governorship election in Rivers
State.
When asked if she has completely retired from acting, the mother of one said, “I don’t like movies like that again and it’s been a long time since I acted on screen, you know.
“I’ve acted in about two films in 10 years, I appreciate
that my path started from Nollywood, it is something that I respect, but it’s
not something that has been in my life.
“So even after the election, it’s not something I’ll return
to, but I’ll love to contribute to the industry when I get into power,” Tonto
said.
She went ahead to commend her colleagues, Funke Akindele and
Banky W for their courage and participation in politics.
“It is not easy for Funke and Banky W at their level to put
themselves out there to effect change because criticisms and so many things are
involved.
“I believe in Funke, I believe in Banky. With them, I can
hold onto something and say I believe that they have a vision for the people,”
she said.
