Abia State governorship candidate and actress, Doris Ogala, has publicly declared her support for activist and politician Omoyele Sowore, stating that any attempt to arrest him would also mean arresting her.
Speaking during a court appearance on Monday, Ogala said, “We are in court today. If they arrest Sowore, they’ll have to arrest me too,” a statement that has since generated reactions across social media and political circles.
Her remarks are being interpreted as a show of solidarity with Sowore amid ongoing legal and political developments surrounding the activist. Supporters have praised the statement as a demonstration of loyalty and courage, while critics have questioned its implications.
As of the time of this report, there has been no official indication from authorities regarding any planned arrest of Sowore. The circumstances surrounding the court proceedings also remain under public scrutiny.
The development has further fueled discussions about freedom of expression, political activism, and the role of public figures in Nigeria’s democratic process.
