NCPC Denies Appointing Tonto Dikeh As Ambassador

By Daniel Dafe, Abraka
The Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission, NCPC has denied reports making the rounds that Tonto Dikeh has been appointed as Ambassador for the Commission.

In a statement signed by Celestine Toruka,
Head Media and Public Relations, NCPC “King Tonto Dikeh paid an official courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Christian Pilgrim Commission Rev Yakubu Pam on 25th February, 2021 at the corporate headquarters of the Commission in Abuja.”

Adding: “As the founder of Tonto Dikeh Foundation, she expressed her willingness and interest in partnering with the Commission in the area of peace building. She equally cashed in on the visit to commend the NCPC boss for his positive and relentless peace initiatives across the country.”

The statement continued: “However, we are suddenly inundated with claims from King Tonto Dikeh herself that she has been officially appointed as Ambassador of peace by this great Commission.”

“The Commission frowns at this claim which is a clear misrepresentation of what transpired. The fact remains that the Executive Secretary of NCPC never appointed King Tonto Dikeh an Ambassador of Peace for NCPC and this was not part of her visit therefore this claim by her is spurious, unfounded and should be discarded and seen by all Nigerians as a figment of her imagination,” NCPC said.

Furthermore, the Commission appreciated her desire to partner with NCPC in the areas of peace building initiatives and in the area of pilgrimage sponsorship to the Holy Land.
