Foluke Daramola, known for acting in Nollywood films, finished a key step in her political journey by clearing the initial review process. Her nomination papers were officially accepted by the All Progressives Congress (APC), marking entry into Nigeria’s unfolding political season. The move follows standard procedure before major events on the national calendar.
Earlier, the actress collected her nomination papers, finished them, and then turned everything in before the deadlines closed. After that, she passed a vetting process run by the group – success there opened a new phase in her path toward politics.
Now she’s turning heads, folks watching close. With every step forward, eyes light up – not just among followers but others too. Lately, a shift has taken hold across Nigeria, where stars from screens start stepping into government spaces. Not long ago, acting was their stage; today it’s debates, policies, and hallways of power. One after another, familiar faces trade scripts for campaigns, spotlight for service.
Foluke walked into Abuja under morning light, friends beside her. With her came coworkers, among them Yemi, a long-known face in Nollywood movies, often teased as “Yemi my lover.” Actress Folasade Eno stood nearby too, quiet but steady. Support hung in how they stayed close, not loud, just there. Encouragement was shown in small glances, shared breaths during waiting stretches.
Foluke Daramola was already stepping up in community work long before she entered politics, frequently raising her voice on matters touching everyday lives. To plenty of observers, shifting into the political arena simply extends what she’s always done.
Now her followers are online, cheering what she’s achieved so far. Wishes pour in across platforms as she steps further into politics, particularly strong backing from those in Oshodi who stand behind her journey.
With the campaign picking up speed, her strong performance stands out as a first victory. Now, eyes turn toward what comes next in climbing the party ladder.
