Tonto Dikeh has stated that following the governorship election in Rivers State, she will not be returning to Nollywood.
You may remember that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) nominated the actress for the position of deputy governor in Rivers State.
Tonto told BBC News Pidgin that if her party loses the governorship election in Rivers State, she will not return to acting.

The single mother was recently questioned if she is completely retiring from acting
she 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,”
