Tonto Dikeh heads to Government House

 

Controversial Nollywood actress and social media influencer, Tonto Dikeh, is now a politician and Sentry can authoritatively tell you that she is not starting small at all. As a matter of fact, she is the deputy governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the forthcoming 2023 general election in Rivers State.

Tonte Ibraye, ADC governorship candidate in the state, reportedly called on Dikeh to come and join his ticket as his running mate after considering a lot of other options available to the party across the state. He announced Dikeh’s candidacy yesterday in a statement posted on his verified Facebook page.

The statement reads: “After series of consultations with leaders of our party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State and the national level, I’m glad to announce Ambassador Tonto Dikeh as my running mate for the 2023 gubernatorial election in Rivers State.

“We are pleased to welcome her to the #RiversRescueMission2023 as we strive to improve the standard of living for everyone in our dear Rivers State.” So, when next you come across the controversial thespian anywhere, it may not be out of place for you to address her as ‘Her Excellency in waiting.’

For those wondering if this is some comedy outing, it isn’t. This is for real, not just some Nollywood actress pretending to be a politician.
