I will not return to Nollywood even after the election – Tonto Dike

Tonto Dikeh has disclosed that she would not be returning to Nollywood after the governorship election in Rivers State.

She said this during an interview on BBC News Pidgin. According to her, even if her party loses the Rivers State Governorship election, she will not return to her acting career

Tonto Dike was announced as the deputy governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State. She shared that she no longer likes movies like she used to.

“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.

“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 added
