The African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate in Abia State, Doris Ogala, has been admitted to hospital after collapsing during a consultation in the state.

The actress-turned-politician revealed the incident in a video shared on her Instagram page on Friday night, confirming that she was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Umuahia, for medical attention.

According to her, she lost consciousness before being taken to the hospital.

“I was rushed to FMC Umuahia. I lost consciousness. Glory to God, I am stabilised now,” she wrote.

In the video, which was recorded after doctors had stabilised her condition, Ms Ogala was seen interacting with patients and hospital staff while being wheeled around the facility by a nurse.

She also took time to pray with other patients, asking God to grant them healing and restoration.

“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,” she prayed.

As of the time of filing this report, Ms Ogala had not provided further updates on her health condition.

The AAC candidate is among those seeking to become Abia State’s next governor. She is expected to contest against candidates including Eric Opah of the All Progressives Congress (APC), incumbent Governor Alex Otti of the Labour Party (LP), and Kelechi Anosike of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), among others.

Ahead of the election, Ms Ogala has outlined plans centred on improving education, healthcare, and infrastructure, while promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance.

She has also stated that her vision for Abia focuses on putting the people first, expanding economic opportunities, and creating jobs for residents.

In pursuit of that vision, she recently visited traders and property owners affected by the demolition of shops in the Afara Community of Umuahia North Local Government Area, following the acquisition of properties in the area by the state’s Deputy Governor, Ikechukwu Emetu.

During the visit, Ms Ogala encouraged the affected residents to make use of their voting rights, stressing that her decision to enter the governorship race was driven by a desire to help free them from hardship and improve their living conditions.
