Actress Chioma Ifemeludike invites her 292 voters to lunch after Anambra election loss
Chioma Ifemeludike, the actress and filmmaker better known as IfeDike, has extended a lunch invitation to the individuals who voted for her during Saturday’s Anambra governorship election.
IfeDike, who contested under the African Action Congress (AAC), garnered 292 votes across the state’s 5,718 polling units.
The result placed her far behind the incumbent governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who won a landslide victory with 422,664 votes.
Rather than dwell on the defeat, the actress took to social media to celebrate her small but dedicated group of supporters.
In the post via X, the filmmaker expressed her gratitude to her supporters while extending a personal invitation to lunch where she said she looks forward to the opportunity to “meet, wine, and hug” them.
“Dear 292 Solidarity voters, when can we have lunch, wine and hug? I can’t wait. Thank you. I love you,” the post reads.
IfeDike’s political foray was built on a platform of grassroots connection and tangible social interventions.
During her campaign, she highlighted her background as a “female unionist” and her tenure as AAC chairperson, promoting a manifesto that included solar power initiatives, subsidized school fees, and enhanced state security.
Beyond politics, Ifemeludike is an established creative force with a career spanning over a decade. She first gained recognition with her YouTube series Corpers Heaven, which was inspired by her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) experience.
She has since become known for producing a slate of popular Igbo-language films, including ‘Painful Truth’, ‘Commissioner for Happiness’, ‘Mortuary Gate’, ‘Plantain Girl’ and ‘Made in Heaven’.
