Tonto Dikeh Unveils New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle
Nollywood actress and politician, Tonto Dikeh, has announced the launch of a new Christian spiritual movement, the New Wine Prophetic Tabernacle (NWPT).
Dikeh made the announcement on Sunday through her Instagram page, describing NWPT as an interdenominational movement focused on prayer, revival, spiritual growth and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. According to the actress, the movement is inspired by Mark 2:22, which speaks of putting “new wine” into new wineskins. She said NWPT is intended for Christians seeking deeper spiritual commitment and transformation. The movement’s stated vision is to promote a global awakening among believers and encourage them to live out their faith while advancing what it describes as the Kingdom of Christ. Its mission includes establishing an interdenominational platform for prayer and revival, providing apostolic training, developing spiritual gifts, encouraging evangelism and supporting people seeking spiritual freedom through the Christian faith. Dikeh stressed that NWPT is not being presented as a conventional church. Rather, she described it as a gathering of believers who are committed to spiritual consecration and service. The movement is scheduled to hold its weekly fellowship every Friday at 6:00pm.
The announcement follows months of increased public interest in Dikeh’s Christian journey. She has in recent times signed some of her social media posts as “Ada El-Roi” and participated in Pastor Jerry Eze’s NSPPD community, alongside noticeable changes in aspects of her public lifestyle and dressing. In December 2025, Dikeh also gave a testimony at Streams of Joy International Church, where she spoke publicly about overcoming struggles including smoking, alcohol addiction, masturbation and anger. She said she began smoking at the age of 13 and attributed her recovery from the habits to her Christian faith. Beyond entertainment, Dikeh entered politics in 2022 as a deputy governorship candidate in Rivers State. Earlier in 2026, she also reflected publicly on her past marriage to Olakunle Churchill, about a decade after their highly publicised separation. The former couple subsequently reconciled publicly after years of strained relations.
