Tonto Dikeh has disclosed that she would not be returning to Nollywood after the governorship election in Rivers State.<\/p>\n
This comes after the actress was announced as the deputy governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State.<\/p>\n
Speaking with BBC News Pidgin in a new interview, Tonto Dikeh said she will not return to acting even if her party loses the governorship election in Rivers State.<\/p>\n
The mother of one explained that \u201cI don\u2019t like movies like that again and it\u2019s been a long time since I acted on screen, you know. I\u2019ve acted in about two films in 10 years, I appreciate that my path started in Nollywood, it is something that I respect.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s (acting) not something that has been in my life (in recent times). So even after the election, it\u2019s not something I\u2019ll return to, but I\u2019ll love to contribute to the industry when I get into power,\u201d Tonto said.<\/p>\n
She went ahead to commend her colleagues, Funke Akindele and Banky W for their courage and participation in politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt 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,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
