The Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (CNPC) has denied rumors that it has appointed Tonto Dikeh as an ambassador for peace.
Rev. Yakubu Pam, the executive secretary of the commission, made the clarification in a statement to Jos on Saturday.
Pam said the actress, who is the founder of the Tonto Dikeh Foundation, however visited the commission and expressed her willingness to partner with the CNPC to promote peaceful coexistence in the country.
“The CNPC wishes to state in categorical terms that the commission has not appointed Tonto Dikeh as an ambassador for peace.
“The Founder of the Tonto Dikeh Foundation visited only the commission and expressed her willingness and interest in partnering with us in the area of peacebuilding.
“She also took advantage of the visit to congratulate me on my positive and relentless peace initiatives across the country.
“But we are surprised by her claims that she has been officially appointed peace ambassador by this great commission which has gone viral in the media.
“The Commission frowns at this assertion, which is a clear distortion of what happened.
“It was not part of his visit, therefore this claim on his part is misleading, baseless and should be dismissed and seen by all Nigerians as a figment of his imagination,” Pam said.
The Executive Secretary appreciated Dikeh’s desire to show interest in partnering with the commission in its peacebuilding initiatives and pilgrimage sponsorship to the Holy Land.
