Nigeria’s Nollywood Actress, Amb. Tonto Dikeh, has said that she contested against the Immediate-past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike’s boy in the governorship election of 2023.
Tonto, in a statement at the weekend, said people thought she came to joke, but she made them understand that she was not joking.
The ADC Deputy Gubernatorial candidate, also said she might not have won, but it will go down in history that she contested against Wike or Wike’s boy.
“I said something; I said that the youth are restless. They are young, they are vibrant, and this is the time for them to do things. They cannot achieve those things if they do not fall under the platform of leadership,” she said.
“I contested for the position of Deputy Governor of Rivers State under the ADC and I saw how the older politicians perceived me like, ooh! This girl came to joke but I told them I didn’t come to joke.
“I made them understand that I came to fight. I might not have won but it will go down in history that I contested against Wike or Wike’s boy or the other big shots that I contested against,” she added.
