APC reacts as actress Tonto Dikeh dumps ADC for ruling party, shares beautiful pictures

The United Kingdom (UK) chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) welcomed Tonto Dikeh, a prominent actress in Nigerian Nollywood, into its fold on Monday, October 23.

Earlier on Monday, it was reported that the entertainer had dumped the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and announced that she had joined the camp of the APC.

Tonto Dikeh was the deputy governorship candidate of the ADC in the March 18 governorship election in Cross Rivers State.

The ruling APC national women leader, Dr Mary Alile, officially unveiled the actress as a party member at about 3pm on Monday. The event took place at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja.

The actress was joining the APC when the party was being criticised for the economic woes of the country as well as insecurity in some states.

Following the removal of the fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu at his inauguration on May 29, the cost of food and other basic commodities in the country has skyrocketed, and the majority of the people in the country are lamenting about the hardship in the country.

But the President has assured Nigerians that things would soon get better, urging Nigerians to believe in his renewed hope agenda. However, the opposition parties have criticised the ruling APC's economic policies.

In contrast, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party have continued to challenge the victory of President Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.
