The Nollywood actress revealed that she had abandoned her acting career and emphasized that it has been absent from her life for a while.

She added that she would not be going back to acting even after the elections.

She said, “I appreciate the fact that my fame started in the movie industry, but acting has not been in my life for a while now. So, even after the election, I will not be going back.”

Speaking on her industry colleagues, Funke Akindele and Banky W’s political careers, she expressed belief in their visions for the masses.
