Nollywood actress and the African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate for Abia State, Doris Ogala, has expressed confidence that she will emerge as the state’s next governor, telling residents they have “no choice” but to accept her leadership.
Ogala made the remarks during a TikTok Live session, a video of which began circulating widely on social media on Sunday.
Speaking to viewers, she declared that her victory in the 2027 governorship election was certain, attributing her confidence to divine assurance.
“I, Doris Ogala, will be your governor. You have no choice. God has spoken, and it will surely come to pass. It is as simple as that,” she said.
Since emerging as the AAC governorship candidate, Ogala has vowed to unseat the incumbent governor, Alex Otti, promising to improve the welfare of Abia residents, create employment opportunities and stimulate economic development if elected.
Before venturing into partisan politics, Ogala built a successful career in Nollywood before becoming actively involved in political advocacy through the AAC, participating in campaigns and protests on issues affecting the people of Abia State.
In June 2026, the actress was briefly hospitalised after collapsing during a political consultation in Umuahia. She was admitted to the Federal Medical Centre, where she later visited fellow patients in a wheelchair and prayed with them, an incident that attracted mixed reactions on social media.
