Nollywood actress and African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate in Abia State, Doris Ogala, has stirred reactions on social media after declaring that she would become the state's next governor.
Ogala made the remark during a TikTok Live session, a video of which surfaced online on Sunday ahead of preparations for the 2027 governorship election.
Speaking during the livestream, the actress expressed confidence in her political ambition, insisting that Abia residents had "no choice" but to accept her as governor.
"I, Doris Ogala, as your governor, you don't have a choice. Doris will be your governor, you don't have a choice. God has said it, so shall it be. It is very simple. Why don't you get that?" she said.
The video has since attracted widespread attention on social media, generating mixed reactions from users.
Ogala recently emerged as the African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate for Abia State ahead of the 2027 general election.
Following her emergence, she pledged to unseat the incumbent governor, Alex Otti, promising to improve the welfare of residents, create employment opportunities and stimulate economic growth if elected.
Before joining partisan politics, Ogala built a career in Nollywood and later became actively involved in political advocacy through the AAC, participating in campaigns and public demonstrations on issues affecting Abia State.
In June 2026, the actress was hospitalised after reportedly collapsing during a political consultation in Umuahia. She was admitted to the Federal Medical Centre, where she later visited and prayed with patients from a wheelchair, an incident that also generated reactions on social media.
