Kemi Olunloyo calls out Tonto Dikeh over political ambition

Tonto took many by surprise when she revealed she had been picked to run for the office of the deputy governor of Rivers state.

Controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo in a Twitter post revealed that Tonto is not one to lead a state because she doesn't have control of her life or home.

She continued by citing an example of how the actress threatened her and came all the way to Lagos just to beat her up as a lesson for meddling in Kpokpogri's house demolition case.
