Dear fellow citizens,
The 2023 General Election has been an incredible journey, filled with both triumphs and disappointments. But as I reflect on the experience, I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it all, especially for being considered the Deputy Governorship candidate under the prestigious platform of Action Democratic Congress (ADC) with his Excellency, Hon Tonte Ibraye. I do not take this for granted.
I want to express my deepest appreciation to everyone who supported me throughout this campaign. First and foremost, I must thank Almighty God for granting me the grace to be actively involved from the first second to the last second of our political journey.
To my family, I am indebted for their unwavering love and support, which kept me going even when the going got tough. To the good people of Rivers State, I am humbled by your belief in me, and I promise to continue fighting for you in any way that I can.
I also want to extend my gratitude to the entire official, members, and volunteers of our great organization, . Led by the Director General, Chief Obinna Nwaka, I am grateful for your understanding, support, and presence all through this struggle.
To my local and international fans, The Tonto Dikeh Foundation, media, bloggers, celebrities, and all those who showed me love, publicity, and support, thank you from the bottom of my heart. The journey has been ours together, and I am proud of what we have achieved.
As a woman, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to participate in politics. But I urge my fellow women not to be discouraged. Instead, let us support each other, regardless of political affiliation. I wish all my fellow women success in their political endeavors.
I acknowledge that I may have offended some people during the course of my political journey. For any wrongs I may have committed, I plead for understanding, as we are all human and prone to making mistakes. Please forgive me if you are in this category, and I also ask for your prayers and encouragement.
As the 2023 general elections draw to a conclusion with a newly elected leader, I want to urge everyone both political leaders and supported to make significant contributions that will ensure peace and prosperity in our darling Rivers State, regardless of how the outcome may have been unfavorable to most of and instead focus on good governance, peace, and unity in Rivers State and Nigeria as a whole. I believe that together, we can make a difference.
Thank you all, and God bless.
Her Excellency,
Amb Tonto Dikeh,
ADC Deputy Governorship Candidate
Rivers State.
