Nollywood Actress Chioma Ifemeludike Declares for Anambra Governorship Under AAC

Nollywood actress and social advocate, Chioma Grace Ifemeludike, has officially announced her intention to contest the Anambra State governorship election slated for November 8, 2025, under the African Action Congress (AAC).

Ifemeludike made the declaration on her official X (formerly Twitter) handle, revealing that she has emerged as the AAC flag bearer for the upcoming poll. In her announcement, she stated:

> “I am the flag bearer of the African Action Congress (AAC) and I’m proud to say that I’m the best candidate in the November 8 Anambra gubernatorial election. The lighthouse is about to be lit.”



The post has since generated significant buzz across social media, drawing reactions from fans, political observers, and fellow entertainers.

Ifemeludike joins the growing list of Nigerian celebrities transitioning from the entertainment industry into politics. Although she has not yet unveiled her campaign agenda or running mate, her statement suggests a vision focused on renewal and transformation, themes echoed in her phrase, “The lighthouse is about to be lit.”

Known for her outspoken views on governance, moral leadership, and social justice, Ifemeludike has frequently used her platform to comment on national issues and Anambra politics. Her emergence under the AAC — a party founded in 2018 by activist Omoyele Sowore — underscores the growing participation of young Nigerians and creatives in political leadership.

Political analysts suggest that her candidacy could inject fresh energy into the race, especially among youth and first-time voters seeking alternative voices in the state’s politics.

As Anambra heads toward what promises to be a heated campaign season, Ifemeludike’s entry adds a new dimension to the contest currently dominated by established political figures, including incumbent Governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

For now, the actress-turned-politician appears resolute in her mission to bring hope, accountability, and reform to her home state, positioning herself as a symbol of youth-driven change in Nigerian politics.
