Naija247news gathered that former Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has expressed unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu, asserting that he is “destined to fix Nigeria.” Her statement comes after Tinubu’s decision on Wednesday to remove five ministers from his cabinet, a move that included Kennedy-Ohanenye herself, along with other prominent ministers such as Lola Ade-John of Tourism and Jamila Bio Ibrahim of Youth Development.
According to Naija247news, the president’s cabinet reshuffle also led to the dismissal of Tahir Mamman, Minister of Education, and Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development. In her reaction to the decision, Kennedy-Ohanenye expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve, calling it both an “honour and privilege” to have contributed to the nation’s development.
Naija247news understands that Kennedy-Ohanenye took to social media to reaffirm her commitment to Nigeria’s progress, vowing to support Tinubu’s administration even outside the cabinet. “This is a test of time, a Highly Spiritual Movement that no Human being can stop,” she stated, underscoring her belief in the president’s mission. “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 reshuffle also saw the introduction of seven new ministers and the reassignment of ten others to different portfolios. Naija247news gathered that the newly appointed ministers are set to undergo screening by the Senate, marking another step in Tinubu’s efforts to shape his administration.
According to Naija247news, Kennedy-Ohanenye’s departure and subsequent statement underscore her enduring loyalty and dedication to Nigeria’s future under Tinubu’s leadership, reflecting the administration’s ongoing vision for the nation.
