Actress turned politician, Tonto Dikeh has confessed that while growing up, she wanted to be a pastor..

She made the confession in the latest episode of ‘With Chude’ podcast.

The movie star also disclosed that she might still become a pastor “depending on where God is taking her to”.

The 35-year-old actress said before she ventured into acting and entertainment, she had always been a “church girl” who wanted to be a minister of God.

“I’m an opportunist with this thing called acting or entertainment. But for God, he has ordained that step already. For me, I was just swimming in a swimming pool,” she said.

“I mean, I was a church girl going to be a pastor. I was supposed to be a pastor, I still might be. Depending on where God is taking me to.”

The actress has established a name for herself in the Nigerian movie industry with a lot of recognition and awards to her credit.

Dikeh was recently picked as a running mate to Tonte Ibraye, the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers state.

The film star’s nomination came two years after she opened up about her plans to go into politics in 2023.
