If Supporting Tinubu Means Losing Followers, So Be It – Tonto Dikeh

Nigerian actress and politician Tonto Dikeh has made it clear that she is willing to lose followers over her support for President Tinubu. In a bold statement, she emphasized her commitment to positive change in Nigeria, regardless of the backlash.

Taking to Instagram on August 1, 2024, Dikeh addressed her followers, stating that she wouldn’t hesitate to continue her political stance even if it meant losing support.

She expressed her dedication to making Nigeria a better place and noted that she wouldn’t stress over others’ opinions about her choices.

In her own words:

“If politics will make you unfollow me, please go ahead. I have no hard feelings; I wouldn’t stop supporting to make this country a great place. One thing i wouldn’t do is stress about what you think of my opinion and of my choices or even block my comment section. God bless you all with love and light, #KINGTONTO.”

Dikeh wrote, “If politics will make you unfollow me, please go ahead. I have no hard feelings; I wouldn’t stop supporting to make this country a great place. One thing I wouldn’t do is stress about what you think of my opinion and of my choices or even block my comment section. God bless you all with love and light, #KINGTONTO.”

Her post received mixed reactions. Some Instagram users criticized her stance and accused her of emotional blackmail. One follower wrote, “What’s all this na? Can U just hand over this phone to your manager. Without followers… You are nothing, without FANS even the government will not recognize abeg. That you have enough food in your house, just like I do doesn’t mean you should deny the fact that people are suffering. I do not hate PBAT but I hate the fact that he is using ya’ll to tactical make it look like Nigeria is better in his hands. Stop it, my dear.”

Another commenter added, “I understand you are struggling to get an SSA appointment, but allow your conscience to speak for you.”

Despite the backlash, Dikeh remained firm in her position. She later limited comments on her post but continued to share her support for President Tinubu by posting statistics showing the administration’s progress over the past year. She remarked, “One thing about Nigerians is that if they don’t like you, nothing you do will ever be good enough for them. Let’s not deny this glaring truth.”
