Nollywood actress and Abia State governorship aspirant Doris Ogala has ignited social media buzz after posting a celebratory video in response to Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election victory. The video, shared on her Instagram page on Sunday, August 16, 2026, shows Ogala dancing energetically in a room, dressed in a white shirt, patterned tie, black trousers, and an orange beret, singing praises of both Adeleke and his nephew, music star Davido.

Ogala's Previous Criticism of Abia Billboard Fee
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Ogala strongly criticised the newly introduced ₦150 million campaign advertising permit. She accused Governor Alex Otti's administration of targeting her political ambitions and creating barriers for opposition candidates ahead of the 2027 elections. Ogala argued the policy was insensitive given widespread economic hardship, warning that parties may abandon billboard campaigns entirely if the directive remains.
The celebratory video and her earlier criticism highlight Ogala's active engagement in political discourse, positioning her as a vocal opposition figure in Abia State. As the 2027 elections approach, her actions and statements continue to draw attention from supporters and critics alike.
