What she said

In a video posted on Instagram on Saturday, 14 November 2026, the actress is seen watching Umahi speak at an All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign event in Ebonyi State.

The video spread widely on X. Many users pushed back, pointing to what they described as a substantial record of road projects under Umahi's ministry.

Background

Dokubo, a veteran actress, has often spoken out on political issues. Umahi, a former Ebonyi governor, is one of the most visible members of the Tinubu government and is campaigning for the President's re-election. He had not responded to the video at the time of writing.
