Just a day after Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh proudly posted on her IG page that she had become Peace Ambassador of Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), the commission has come out to deny the claim despite photos showing proof.
Tonto Dikeh announced her new position as the ambassador of the commission and further told her millions of followers that she needs "prayers" as they embark on peace building across the six geopolitical zones of the nation. However, NCPC released a press statement that Tonto Dikeh only paid an official courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission, Rev Yakubu Pam on the 25th, Feb. 2021 at the NCPC Headquarters in Abuja.
The press statement reads as follows;
"As the founder of Tonto Dikeh Foundation, she expressed her willingness and interest in partnering with the Commission in the area of peace building. She equally cashed in on the visit to commend the NCPC boss for his positive and relentless peace initiatives across the country.
However, we are suddenly inundated with claims from King Tonto Dikeh herself that she has been officially appointed as Ambassador of peace by this great Commission. This claim has gone viral in the media.
"The Commission frowns at this claim which is a clear misrepresentation of what transpired. The fact remains that the Executive Secretary of NCPC never appointed King Tonto Dikeh an Ambassador of Peace for NCPC and this was not part of her visit therefore this claim by her is spurious, unfounded and should be discarded and seen by all Nigerians as a figment of her imagination.
"Nevertheless, we appreciate her desire to partner with us in our peace building initiatives and in the area of pilgrimage sponsorship to the Holy Land."
Reacting to the post, Tonto Dikeh stated on her IG page that would never lie on a human being talk more of a commission of a federation. See her full response on IG below;
