Nollywood actress turned politician, Tonto Dikeh has shocked fans as she stepped down from race to join forces with the All Progressive Congress (APC), and its candidate, Tonye Cole in Rivers State.

Wakadaily reported that the actress was nominated as the running mate to Tonte Ibraye, for the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on June 24, 2022.

However, barley 24 hours to the election, Tonto took to her Instagram page to share the news. According to her she followed the advice of political elders.

Tonto Dikeh wrote: “STRONGER TOGETHER FOR A UNITED RIVERS STATE..

Having carefully listened to the advise of elders and political leaders of Rivers State on the need for the opposition to look inwards and present a unified, competent and generally acceptable candidate with the capacity to win the March 18th gubernatorial elections, and the need for the opposition to prevent splitting its votes amongst several candidates, today we officially adopted Pastor Tonye Cole, Governorship Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Rivers State as the consensus and unifying Candidate of the opposition. Upon his victory Tonye Cole will form a unity government comprising of the APC and other opposition parties in this alliance titled “Stronger Together for a United Rivers State”. I hereby call on all my supporters to vote for Tonye Cole of the APC this Saturday.”
