Doris Ogala Backs Kalu’s Criticism of Abia Governor Otti Over Road Projects

Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has publicly defended Senator Orji Uzor Kalu following his criticism of Abia State Governor Alex Otti over the state’s handling of major infrastructure projects.

Kalu had claimed that the current administration was only “repainting roads” that were originally constructed during his tenure as governor. Reacting on social media, Ogala expressed her support, referring to Kalu as her boss and affirming that his comments were accurate.

“What my boss, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, said about Governor Alex Otti is true. Alex Otti is only repainting roads that were originally built by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu,” she wrote.

This public backing highlights the continuing debate over infrastructure accountability and project ownership in Nigerian politics. From an observer’s perspective, Ogala’s intervention underscores how political figures often maintain influence through loyal supporters, and how public discourse can extend beyond politicians themselves to celebrities who lend their voices to political narratives.

The situation also raises broader questions about governance and transparency: when roads or projects are showcased by successive administrations, it becomes important for citizens to know whether these are genuinely new initiatives or refurbishments of past achievements. In this case, Ogala’s defense of Kalu adds fuel to the conversation, reminding the public to critically evaluate political claims and the legacy of leadership in Abia State.
