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. According to her, she lost consciousness and was immediately taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Umuahia, for medical attention.

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

Ogala, who recorded the video after receiving treatment and being stabilised by medical personnel, has yet to provide further details about her health condition.

While at the facility, she interacted with patients and members of staff as she was wheeled around by a nurse. She also led a prayer session, asking God to bring healing to those receiving treatment at the hospital.

“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.

Ogala is among the candidates expected to contest the upcoming Abia governorship election. She will face opponents including Eric Opah of the APC, incumbent Governor Alex Otti of the Labour Party (LP), Kelechi Anosike of the PDP, and others.

Ahead of the election, she has promised to focus on improving education, healthcare, infrastructure, transparency, accountability, and good governance across the state.

According to her, her vision is centred on putting the people first, expanding the economy, and creating employment opportunities for residents.

As part of her campaign activities, Ogala previously visited traders and residents whose shops were demolished in Afara Community, Umuahia North Local Government Area, following the acquisition of properties in the area by the state's Deputy Governor, Ikechukwu Emetu.

During the visit, she encouraged the affected individuals to make use of their votes, stressing that she joined the governorship race to help free them from hardship and improve their living conditions.
