#AnambraDecides: WE CONDEMN SEXIST JOKES AND CODED LANGUAGE TOWARDS OUR CANDIDATE.

WE DON’T “AKPABIO” WOMEN IN THE AFRICAN ACTION CONGRESS (AAC).

The National Working Committee of our great party has observed in the last 24 hours, how our candidate in the forthcoming Anambra governorship elections, Comrade Chioma Ifemeludike, a vibrant and ideologically-clear woman is being judged by her outfit choice and physical features, rather than the quality of her ideas.

We are not surprised by the unleashing of these backward ideas as we know that they are what the society has allowed over the years and crushing these ideas is the reason our party was established.

The conversation around Comrade Chioma‘s appearance exposes how deeply patriarchy still shapes our political culture.

Instead of engaging with her plans for governance, some people have chosen to police her looks. The sexist jokes remain condemned but are not surprising because even the National Assembly; a supposed model of national representation has become a house of sexist jokes. Examples of such show of shame are when Bianca Ojukwu appeared before the Senate for confirmation as Minister and the unpleasant treatment of Senator Natasha Akpoti. Unlike your conventional parties, we don’t “Akpabio” women in our party.

It is an unfortunate fact that women in politics face double the scrutiny: they must prove their competence while also meeting society’s constantly shifting expectations of “acceptable” femininity and womanhood.

This isn’t just unfair. We consider it a distraction from the real issues that matter.

When we reduce a female candidate to her body or her clothing, we silence her vision and reinforce the message that women’s worth is tied to their physical appearance, not ability.

Nigeria, and indeed the world –deserves better.

Voters must reject the sexist jokes, the mockery, and the coded language that aim to shrink women out of political spaces. The future we want is one where leaders are judged by their policies, not their looks; their work ethic, not their wardrobe. Supporting women in politics isn’t charity, it’s democracy in its truest form.

Support the AAC in the forthcoming elections. Vote for Chioma Ifemeludike for good governance beyond Soludo’s theatrics.

A gubernatorial candidate of a serious political party should never been seen glamorizing such a nonsense of indecent dressing.

The governance of a sophisticated state like Anambra is being sacrificed on the alter of sexualization of womanhood. That pictures belongs to her husband in the bedroom. Nonsense!

But, why is she flaunting nyash?

Anambra is not Nollywood. They flaunt brains over there not nyash.

Akpabio now has a new definition 😆

Sowore is very classless, the same way he's using his fake newspaper to fight personal battles against Govt officials, that is what he wants to use his mushroom party AAC for. Instead of correcting your candidate who is using her backside for campaign poster, you're attacking Akpabio who nothing to do with the attack ls she's receiving on social media.

Tell your party governorship candidate to dress decently while in public space,because she will be addressed the way she dressed.

We already know how she’ll win the election. Whether she’s “akpabiorized” or “akpabiod”🤧
🚶‍♂️

I dont trust them for that region o. People wey vote for Ikpeazu twce. Person wey dey give 500naira to women wey just born. Dem go vote anything


But then again, if Obi can do it, she can too. I havent heard her speak but any average person who speaks eloquently would outperform Obi in any aspect. They should give her a chance

Shot fired!


On a more serious note, this isn’t a beauty contest.
The Anambra State election is serious business.

That third picture, her face strong die. Thank God for makeup

See wetin Natasha do Akpabio.

His name forever tarnished even if not found guilty by the courts, his adversaries will still continue to taunt him.

Of you say this for developed countries, Na straight prison and deportation for you. What's your business with how someone has dress?

This party will only be good in dishing out statements, but will fail in every election.

They cannot even be opposition, just aluta and noise

This Sowore party is a group of unserious individuals. The see every problem with the eyes of student unionism, requiring Aluta response.

Fulani terrorists have chased Yeruba people to the outskirts of Kwara State, and you're here splashing saliva everywhere.

Another criterion for governing a State: showing figure!

This is unnecessary, and deliberate deviation from the subject matter!
The AAC spokesperson should do better!

OS running for a political office seeking cheap attention . She can try this because she knows the potential voters are also into the business or drug trafficking. Where else will such nonsense happen besides the capital of OS and drug baron dealers?

It's a crime to Akpabio a woman especially a married woman

Zonefree:

Anambra is not Nollywood. They flaunt brains over there not nyash.

But those are random pics from her gallery right? Or are the her campaign pics?

If it's the latter, then she deserves to be Akpabiorized!

We are Africans with a rich cultural fashion.
