Anambra Election: Do not let them gaslight or confuse you – Chioma Ifemeludike speaks
Nollywood actress and politician Chioma Ifemeludike continues to dominate social media trends following the release of her campaign photos ahead of the November 8 Anambra governorship election.
The actress, who is contesting on the ticket of the African Action Congress (AAC), unveiled the photos on social media while sharing her campaign message and political vision.
Dressed in elegant outfits, Chioma declared herself the “best candidate for the job.”
She wrote: “I am the flag bearer of the African Action Congress, 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.”
Within minutes, the campaign photos began trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, with thousands of Nigerians reacting. While many praised her confidence, intellect, and elegance, others questioned whether her glamorous presentation was suitable for politics.
Unbothered by the chatter, Chioma Ifemeludike responded the following day with a new post and campaign video, stating: “Do not let them gaslight or confuse you.
Yes, we can have beauty and brains in one body. Beauty and elegance are about courage, kindness, and intelligence. Chioma is that woman. Ndi Anambra must vote for social change.”
In the short clip, she discussed her motivation for joining politics and the challenges of being a woman in a space still dominated by men. She spoke passionately about ending political patriarchy and urged young Nigerians to participate actively in governance.
Femi Azeez has declared his ambition to reach the Premier League after marking his Super Eagles debut with two goals against Zimbabwe in Nigeria’s 2-0 Unity Cup semi-final victory, a performance that made him the first Nigerian debutant to score twice for the senior team in 55 years, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 24-year-old Millwall forward, who arrived at the tournament on the back of a 19-goal-contribution season across 35 Championship appearances, has quickly identified the international stage as the springboard to the next phase of his career.
“I had a good season in the Championship and obviously, to do it on the international stage as well was just that next step up,” Azeez told Sky Sports.

“Whenever I achieve something, I’m always hungry for more. I’m never satisfied with what I’ve got. I’m always going to work towards that next level because I’m ambitious as a footballer and as a person, and I want to reach as high a level as possible.”
The winger was direct about his top-flight ambitions, saying, “The Premier League is obviously the pinnacle of football. I’d love to play in the Premier League. So obviously, working hard, I’m going to do whatever I can to get there.”
Azeez arrived in the Eagles squad having already had a strong domestic season, earning a place in the Championship Team of the Season despite Millwall narrowly missing out on automatic promotion and falling to Hull City in the play-offs. His debut brace at The Valley, Charlton’s ground in London, only sharpened a hunger that was already well established.
