Controversial actress turned politician Tonto Dikeh continues to applaud her stepmother, who passed on earlier this year. In an interview with Chude Chideonwo, Tonto opened up on the many impacts her stepmother had on her life.

According to the actress, her stepmother was the only woman involved in her life and also fully supported her when she left home to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

“She’s the only one who has ever prayed for me as a mother. She’s the only one who has blessed me as a mother, fed me as a mother, clothed me as a mother,” Tonto said.

The talented actress said her stepmother was so good she thanked God she never knew her real mum because she might not have been that good to her.

In her words: “The closest I’ve got to love from motherhood was from her, and she gave everything. She gave us more than what she had; she was the best woman on earth. Because of her, sometimes I say, thank God I never knew my mum, because maybe she wouldn’t have been as good as this. She was everything a mother should be and more.”
