Popular Nollywood actress and political appointee, Eniola Badmus, has opened up about her political aspirations, expressing a strong desire to serve as a senator and eventually a minister in Nigeria.
The actress, who currently serves as the Special Assistant on Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, shared her dreams in a heartfelt Instagram post reflecting on her weight loss journey and personal transformation.
In the post, Eniola also revisited memories of her former plus-sized body, while celebrating how far she has come both physically and emotionally.
“There are days when I miss my old body, the fullness, the softness, the way I took up space without hesitation. I miss how familiar it felt, how I knew its curves like the back of my hand, how certain outfits hugged me just right. There was comfort in that body, a sense of identity I never had to question.
“But then, I look at my new body, and I see growth not just physically, but emotionally. This body has carried me through change, through challenges, through moments of doubts and discovery. It moves differently, it feels different, but it is still mine. And just as I learned to love my body before, I am learning to love this one now.
“Missing who I was doesn’t take away from appreciating who I am becoming. Both versions of me deserve love, respect and kindness. And in this journey of transformation, I remind myself that no matter the size, my worth remained unchanged.
“Happy new month.
