Human rights activist and former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2019 and 2023 elections, Omoyele Sowore, has described Chioma Grace Ifemeludike, the AAC gubernatorial candidate in the upcoming November 2025 election, as a “rising star” poised to transform Anambra State.

Sowore made this remark during a Twitter Space held on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

While recognizing Ifemeludike’s presence in the discussion, he offered glowing commendation, saying:

“There is no one who doesn’t know our candidate. She is a star — a star that will rise over Anambra, bring back its old glory, and usher in a new order.”

Ifemeludike emerged the candidate of the AAC during the party’s primary election.

She is running against the incumbent governor of the state, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, alongside candidates of other political parties.

In her acceptance speech, Ifemeludike promised not to betray the trust bestowed on her by party supporters.

She noted that the party will make sure that the people of Anambra State, especially women, children and youths are empowered to become better citizens of the nation.
