– Harrison Ayintete Defends Tonto Dikeh & Ministry Amid Criticism
Pastor Harrison Ayintete has come to the defence of actress-turned-evangelist Tonto Dikeh following criticism surrounding her decision to establish a prayer ministry in Abuja.
Amid the debate, Ayintete has offered a different perspective, describing Dikeh as an example of what he called “positive aggression.”
In a recent social media post, the pastor wrote: “Tonto Dikeh is an example of positive aggression. If you will achieve anything for God, you need fire…”

Ayintete’s comments appear to push back against the criticism directed at Dikeh, particularly the suggestion that her public profile or relatively recent emergence in Christian circles should automatically disqualify her from pursuing ministry.
Rather than focusing on her past as a Nollywood actress, Ayintete’s remarks draw attention to her zeal and willingness to take action in her Christian journey.
Dikeh has in recent years become increasingly vocal about her Christian faith and has taken on a more visible role in Christian activities. Her unveiling of a prayer ministry in Abuja has now brought renewed attention to her spiritual journey and the responsibilities that come with leading a ministry.
The controversy has also highlighted a broader conversation within Nigeria’s Christian community about the requirements for establishing ministries, spiritual preparation and the role of public figures who transition into Christian leadership.

While critics have called for greater scrutiny and accountability, Ayintete’s intervention suggests that he believes Dikeh’s passion and determination should not be dismissed simply because of her background.
The debate surrounding Dikeh’s ministry is expected to continue as questions about calling, preparation and leadership remain central to the discussion.
