Nollywood actress, Chioma Grace Ifemeludike, has officially declared her intention to contest for the office of the Governor of Anambra State in the November 8, 2025, gubernatorial election.
The actress who made the announcement on Wednesday via her official X page, revealed that she will be contesting under the African Action Congress (AAC) banner.
In her post, Ifemeludike wrote: “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 light house is about to be lit.
Southeastposts reports that the announcement has since drawn attention across social media space, marking a new chapter for the actress.
Despite not revealing further details about her political agenda or campaign plans, her post suggests confidence in her vision for the state.
The phrase “The light house is about to be lit” appears to symbolise her promise of transformation and leadership renewal.
Ifemeludike, who has often used her platform to speak on national issues, Anambra politics, and social justice, has also been vocal about the need for moral leadership and accountability among public officials.
The African Action Congress, founded by activist Omoyele Sowore in 2018, is known for its progressive stance on governance and youth inclusion.
Meanwhile, Ifemeludike’s entry into the race could introduce a fresh perspective to the contest, especially as she represents a younger demographic of Nigerians pushing for political change.
As details about her running mate and campaign team are yet to be disclosed, supporters of the actress have expressed optimism that her background in entertainment and advocacy could help her connect with the electorate, especially young voters who have grown increasingly vocal about leadership in Nigeria.
Southeastposts reports that the Anambra governorship election is scheduled to hold on Saturday, November 8, 2025, with candidates from various parties expected to battle for the position currently occupied by Governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
