Kennedy-Ohanenye Speaks Again After Been Sacked As Minister, Comments On President Tinubu’s Leadership

Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, the recently sacked Minister of Women Affairs, has expressed unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu, declaring him destined to fix Nigeria despite her dismissal from the cabinet.

The statement came after a recent reshuffle by President Tinubu, which saw Kennedy-Ohanenye and four other ministers removed from their positions.

In a statement released on Saturday, Kennedy-Ohanenye thanked the President for the opportunity to serve the country, describing her time in office as an “honour and privilege” to contribute to Nigeria’s development.

Kennedy-Ohanenye was among those dismissed in a cabinet shake-up that also affected Lola Ade-John, Minister of Tourism; Jamila Bio Ibrahim, Minister of Youth Development; Tahir Mamman, Minister of Education; and Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development.

Despite her ouster, Kennedy-Ohanenye voiced her support for the Tinubu administration, affirming her readiness to continue fighting for Nigeria’s progress alongside the President and his team.

She wrote, “This is a test of time, a Highly Spiritual Movement that no Human being can stop.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is destined to fix Nigeria and I, Barr Uju Kennedy will fight alongside him to the last. Let’s be optimistic. Nigeria will be great!”

The president had also appointed seven new ministers and reassigned 10 to new portfolios.

The newly appointed ministers will be screened by the senate.
