The recently sacked Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, has expressed unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu despite her sack from his cabinet.
The ex-minister insisted that Tinubu is destined to fix Nigeria.
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 reshuffle 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 removal, 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!”
This came after she thanked the president and Nigerians for the opportunity to serve:
