Nigerian Actress, Tonto Dikeh has quit Nollywood after years of acting.
Dikeh, who is the Deputy Governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress, in Rivers state disclosed this in a chat with journalists.
She revealed that even after the elections, she will not return to Nollywood, adding that she will love to contribute to the industry while in office.
She also commended her colleague, Funke Akindele and singer, Banky W for their involvement in politics.
Part of her statement reads,
“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.
“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.
