Tonto Dikeh revealed that she would not be returning to Nollywood after the governorship election in Rivers State.
The actress, was announced as the deputy governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State, made this revelation during an interview with BBC News Pidgin.
She explained further that even if her party loses the governorship election in Rivers State, she will not return to acting.
When asked if she has completely retired from acting, she replied saying: “I don’t like movies like that again and it’s been a long time since I acted on screen, you know.
In her words:
“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.”
She went ahead to compliment her colleagues, Funke Akindele and Banky W for getting involved in politics.
In her words:
“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.”
