She said: “I have done like two films in 10 years, so you can’t tell me I’m still in the industry.

“I will always appreciate that it was the industry that my path started from, that my shine started from. It is something that I respect, but it’s not something that has been in my life for a while now. So even after the election, it is not something I plan on bringing back.”

Tonto also commended her colleagues Funke Akindele and Banky W who are also vying for political offices.
