A senior aide to Governor Ossai Ovie Success of Delta State has voiced strong disapproval over Nollywood star Tonto Dikeh’s recent embrace with her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, at their son King Andre’s birthday celebration in Abuja.
Taking to Facebook, the governor’s aide condemned the actress’s action, pointing out that Churchill is now remarried and that public displays of affection by an ex-partner could be seen as disrespectful toward his current wife, Rosy Meurer.
The aide stressed that Tonto Dikeh, as a high-profile personality, should have demonstrated greater awareness of social decorum, particularly in situations involving blended families.
The debate quickly gained traction online, with netizens divided—some defended the hug as innocent affection, while others agreed it crossed boundaries.
