“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 Dikeh went ahead to commend her colleagues, Funke Akindele and Banky W for getting involved in politics.
She 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.”
Tonto Dikeh has always been regarded as a controversial celebrity, due to her several online wars with her Exes.
The last war was with self acclaimed Journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, whom she vowed to beat up.
Although since she made the move to join politics full time, the philanthropist has been on a chilled zone.
