Actress and Filmmaker IfeDike Invites Supporters for a Celebratory Lunch Following Anambra Election
Chioma Ifemeludike, popularly known as IfeDike in the entertainment industry, has warmly reached out to the voters who supported her in the recent Anambra governorship election by inviting them to a special lunch gathering.
Election Outcome and Voter Support
Running as the African Action Congress (AAC) candidate, IfeDike secured a total of 292 votes from the 5,718 polling stations across Anambra State. Although this figure was modest compared to the overwhelming victory of the incumbent governor, Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who amassed 422,664 votes, IfeDike remains appreciative of her dedicated base.
Gratitude and Personal Connection with Supporters
Instead of focusing on the electoral loss, IfeDike took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express heartfelt thanks to her loyal voters. She extended a personal invitation to them for a lunch where she hopes to share moments of joy, camaraderie, and appreciation.
“To my 292 steadfast supporters, when shall we share lunch, wine, and warm embraces? I eagerly await the chance to connect with each of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all! #akaekpuchionwa”
Campaign Focus and Political Vision
IfeDike’s political journey was deeply rooted in community engagement and practical social reforms. She campaigned on a platform emphasizing grassroots empowerment, leveraging her experience as a female unionist and her leadership role as AAC chairperson. Her manifesto prioritized initiatives such as expanding solar energy access, reducing educational costs through subsidies, and strengthening security measures within the state.
Creative Career and Cultural Contributions
Beyond her political ambitions, IfeDike boasts a prolific career in the creative arts spanning over ten years. She initially gained widespread attention with her YouTube series Corpers Heaven, a project inspired by her own National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) experience. Since then, she has produced a variety of acclaimed Igbo-language films, including titles like Painful Truth, Commissioner for Happiness, Mortuary Gate, Plantain Girl, and Made in Heaven, contributing significantly to the preservation and promotion of Igbo culture through cinema.
Looking Ahead
While the election results were not in her favor, IfeDike’s commitment to her community and cultural heritage remains unwavering. Her invitation to supporters symbolizes a desire to maintain strong bonds and continue advocating for meaningful change in Anambra State.
