Renowned Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has set her sights on a future in politics, revealing her ambition to become a senator.
In a recent Instagram post, Badmus reflected on her personal transformation while subtly hinting at her political aspirations. She also expressed interest in eventually serving as a minister.
Currently, Badmus holds the position of Special Assistant on Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas. Her increasing involvement in governance suggests a gradual shift from entertainment to public service.
Sharing her thoughts, she wrote:
“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 doubt 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 remains unchanged.
“Happy new month.

Her hashtags sparked discussions, with many interpreting them as a declaration of her political ambitions.
Badmus has been in the spotlight not just for her acting career but also for her inspiring weight loss journey. In 2021, she stunned Nigerians with her dramatic transformation, shedding nearly half her body weight—from 170kg to 85kg.
As she continues to evolve personally and professionally, it remains to be seen how her political aspirations will unfold. For now, fans are eager to witness her next move.
