Doris Ogala, Abia AAC governorship candidate, collapses and is taken to hospital

Doris Ogala, the African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate in Abia State, has been admitted to the hospital.

The actress-turned-politician shared that she was taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, in a video she posted on her Instagram page on Friday night.

She said she collapsed and lost consciousness during a meeting in the state.
“I was rushed to FMC Umuahia. I lost consciousness. Glory to God, I am stabilised now,” she wrote.

Ms Ogala made the video after doctors treated her at the hospital. She has not given any updates about her health since then.

As of the time of this report, she has not said whether she has been discharged from the hospital.

In the video obtained by PREMIUM TIMES, a nurse was seen pushing Ms Ogala in a wheelchair around the hospital.
She interacted with patients and staff as she was wheeled around.

Ms Ogala also led a prayer session for the patients, asking God to heal them.
She said, “Father King of Glory, I ask that you touch every person here. Let them be healed in the name of Jesus. Father King of Glory, you created every one of us. You know every part of our body. May your healing fall on everybody here in the name of Jesus. Father, send down your surgeons.

“As I leave here today, may your name be glorified. May they come and testify. May they testify that you have healed them in the name of Jesus. Every affliction, from the pit of hell, I release fire from heaven to destroy them right now. I cover everybody here with the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Receive your healing.”

This newspaper reported that Ms Ogala will run against candidates like Eric Opah of the All Progressives Congress (APC), current Governor Alex Otti of the Labour Party (LP), Kelechi Anosike of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and others.

In the lead-up to the election, she has promised to improve education, healthcare, infrastructure, transparency, accountability, and good governance.

Ms Ogala said her vision is about putting the people first, boosting the economy, and creating jobs.

As part of her vision, this newspaper reported that she visited people whose shops were destroyed in the Afara Community of Umuahia North Local Government Area. This was after the state’s Deputy Governor, Ikechukwu Emetu, acquired properties in that area.

While addressing the affected people, Ms Ogala encouraged them to use their voting power.
She mentioned that she stepped forward to help free them from suffering.
