Tonto Dikeh Reveals Why She Dumped Nollywood For Politics

Following the appointment of actress, Tonto Dikeh as the running mate to Rivers State African Democratic Congress’s (ADC) governorship candidate, the actress has now said she no longer sees herself as an actress anymore following her venture into politics

Tonto said this in an Instagram live session while giving reasons for abandoning her acting career for politics.

She stated that although she will always be an actor, focusing solely on acting will be impossible for her.

“Before now I really would not say I did a lot in that scene, it is not something that I’ve been frequent in the past few years so, I know that an artist will always be an artist but I just don’t see myself as an actress anymore, but I can’t take away the actor in me or the entertainment in me, it is not something possible.

“You just evolve, you want different things for yourself, just like I did some couple of movies, I think two movies in the past year, one last year and one this year, I mean not to say I can’t do things like that but to be active in the industry like I used to is not a possibility, it won’t let me be a mum and I can’t jeopardize and I can’t compromise that for anything in the world,” she said.
