Following her recent dismissal as Minister of Women Affairs, Uju-Ken Ohanenye has pledged her continued support for President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to improve Nigeria, vowing to “stand by him” in the mission to advance the nation.
The former minister stated this in a post on her official X.com account, @BarrUjuKennedy, on Saturday.
While pledging her commitment to Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda,” Ohanenye urged Nigerians to remain hopeful about Nigeria’s future.
She said, “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!”
Earlier, on October 24, Ohanenye expressed her gratitude to Tinubu in a letter, affirming her commitment to contributing to Nigeria’s progress and prosperity.
Ohanenye was among five ministers dismissed on October 24, including the Minister of Tourism, Lola Ade-John; Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman; Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo; and Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim.
The announcement, made by Dada Olusegun, the President’s special adviser on Social Media, included details on the reassignment of 10 ministers to new portfolios, nominations for seven new ministers, and various other appointments.
Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu was named Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, while Jumoke Oduwole was appointed as Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment.
In her letter of appreciation, Ohanenye thanked President Tinubu for the privilege to serve, describing it as an “honour and privilege” to contribute to Nigeria’s development.
