When the OAP pressed her on why she was so certain of victory, Doris Ogala did not hesitate.
"I am so sure, and I know it, because I'm better than all of them," she said.
She framed her ambition in spiritual terms, telling the host:
"My call to come and save my people is a divine mandate. I will be the next governor of Abia State. Nothing is going to stop it."
Doris Ogala takes aim at Alex Otti
Beyond personal confidence, the actress used the platform to criticise the administration of Governor Alex Otti.
Doris Ogala claimed to have spent three months living in Abia State and said she experienced persistent power outages throughout her stay.
"I have been in Abia for 3 good months. No lights. I sleep in my family house. I don't have lights. I can tell you that this present government has done nothing. And I will tell you because I know," she said.
When Nedu pointed out that Abia appeared to have seen improvements in roads and electricity, Doris Ogala pushed back, describing such narratives as public relations spin.
"They've sold this thing to the public for the longest time," she said.
She also weighed in on the debate over development at Ariaria International Market, claiming the A-Line section of the market was constructed under former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, not the current administration.
"I dare the governor Alex Otti to challenge me. He didn't build Ariaria," she said, adding that she was part of that earlier government.

Doris Ogala slams Abia billboard fee
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Abia AAC governorship candidate Doris 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.
