A chat that surfaced on Instagram has revealed the underlying motivation behind actress Tonto Dikeh's unexpected decision to join the APC.

In this leaked conversation, which was posted by the blogger Gistlovers, Tonto Dikeh expressed her sincere intentions and her aspiration to become a part of the party in order to contribute to positive transformations.

She also referenced her past conflicts with the Lagos state government, which she perceived to have connections with the APC.

She said; “My intentions are good. I need to be inside to effect change. This has been ongoing for 1 month. No be me still come out the fight Lagos state govt who is obviously APC. I’m coming in as an individual ready to work for the youths and women. Never can be an oppressor.”

Tonto Dikeh’s move from the ADC party to the APC has drawn attention and generated mixed reactions.

Some people support her decision, seeing it as an opportunity for her to make a difference for the youth and women.

Others, however, have expressed skepticism and raised questions about her motives and the impact she can have within the ruling party.

@gist.connect said: “I’m even disappointed.”

@damilola_a_ commented: “See why people would always come for them even when they try to do good? Because their actions says otherwise.”

@dw said: “There is no difference between all political parties in Nigeria. We wailed for 16 years because of PDP, now APC is here yet nothing changed. 50% of the membership of APc were former members of PDP. The present LP is an offshoot of the PDP, So why on earth do we still think one political party is the problem Maybe if we start attending political party meeting we will understand that they choose the success of their party way above a good economy but as usual we the masses don’t have sense. This is meant to be an Elites VS masses battle not political party. They share themselves into two or three parties and we are left with no choice than to chose amongst them yet we complain there is no change.. We all agreed in 2020 after EndSARS to end APC & PDP. boom. A PdP member ran to Labour Party. They started painting him Good & others bad. We never ready!”
