Nollywood actress and African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate in Abia State, Doris Ogala, has criticised Apostle Johnson Suleman over his recent comments about the administration of Governor Alex Otti.
Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International, had reportedly spoken positively about Otti’s administration, suggesting that the governor could secure a second term without having to campaign extensively.
Ogala reacted to the clergyman’s remarks in a post on Instagram, questioning his assessment of the situation in Abia State.
The actress also challenged Suleman’s conduct as a pastor and disputed his reported comments concerning the availability of electricity in the state.
Ogala alleged that Suleman had not visited Abia State before making his observations about conditions in the state. She argued that the experiences of residents living in Abia should be considered when assessing the performance of the state government.

In her strongly worded response, Ogala also criticised some individuals who identify as pastors, accusing them of using religion to influence or mislead members of the public.
She specifically challenged Suleman to explain the basis of his assessment of Otti’s administration and his comments about electricity supply in Abia.
“How dare you come to lie that there is 24 hrs light in Abia?” she asked, while also alleging that Suleman had not visited the state.
Ogala further claimed that residents living in Abia were experiencing difficulties that, in her view, were not reflected in some public comments about the state.
She also suggested that Suleman’s support for Otti could be interpreted as political campaigning, despite the pastor’s reported position that he was not campaigning.
The actress warned that she would respond further if she believed her political campaign or the people of Abia were being misrepresented.
“I speak with evidence,” she said, adding that she regarded the remarks as a direct challenge to her and the people she seeks to represent.
Ogala concluded by saying she was prepared to face any legal or institutional consequences arising from the dispute, stating that she would not back down from the confrontation.
Her comments have added another layer to the ongoing political debate surrounding the performance of the Abia State government and the forthcoming election.
