Popular Nollywood actress-cum-singer, Tonto Dikeh has taken to the social media to congratulate Nigerian president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari on his victory in the recently concluded polls.
Tonto didn’t stop at that, she also seized the opportunity to mock her colleagues, who were quite vocal and visible in their support of the outgoing president, Goodluck Jonathan.
She stressed the fact that she is not a politician, but rather, supports individuals she believes in. Tonto posted a picture of Buhari, with the caption: ‘Awwwwww my heart is JOYED. I didn’t sell my voice nor Choice nor Vote #NOTAPOLITICIAN…#ISUPPORTINDIVIDUALS.’
You may recall that the actress was conspicuously absent at all the meetings and events, President Jonathan had with several of her colleagues. She never turned out at any of the main opposition party, APC’s campaign rallies either.

A New Beginning! I was left in tears when i read Presidents Goodlucks congratulatory message to Gen. Buhari I was not crying because i felt like crying, i was not crying cause i supported him and he lost, but i cried cause his words arrested my emotions. He wished his opponent a good administration ahead, he congratulated him and accepted defeat. I could remember by this time in 2011, Buhari never accepted that he lost, he promised Jonathan that he'l make his administration ungovernable for him and he later fulfilled his promise. His supporters took to the streets and slaughtered innocent Nigerians but he never stopped the killings. But today, he has won that same man that defeated him in 2011 but got a congratulatory message instead of threats. He has wished him success and not promising him an ungovernable tenure. Few weeks to the election, the people we call our leaders were busy sending threats to themselves and leaving the poor masses gripped with fear. Some people left the country with fear of the aftermath of the election. But today you'v restored peace by accepting defeat peacefuly. Oh! Jonathan, you've shown us that you'r a good man. You'v shown African leaders the true definition of democracy. You wished not to influence the elections with your powers, you wished not to cancel the election when you can do it and nothing will happen. Posterity will never forget you where ever you go. I am still your fan for life. You'r a good and gentleman but sorrounded by ingrates and fools that care for their pockets alone. Oh Jona! You lost the election but won my heart. # NigeriaHASdecided
