She put in that even if her party fails the governorship election in Rivers State, she will not return to Nollywood.
When asked if she has fully retired from acting, the mommy of one said: “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.”
She went forward to applaud her colleagues, Funke Akindele and Banky W for getting involved in politics.
Tonto 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.”
