Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, the former Minister of Women Affairs, has broken her silence for the first time since President Bola Tinubu removed her from her position.
Uju Kennedy was relieved of her duties during a cabinet reshuffle at a Federal Executive Council meeting on Wednesday.
She was one of five Ministers who were dismissed from Tinubu’s cabinet. The others included Lola Ade-John as Minister of Tourism, Jamila Bio Ibrahim as Minister of Youth Development, Tahir Mamman as Minister of Education, and Abdullahi Muhammad Gwarzo as Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development.
In response to the President’s decision, Uju Kennedy posted a ‘Letter of Appreciation’ on X on Thursday morning.
“I write to express my sincere gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the opportunity to serve as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It has been an honour and a privilege to contribute to the development of our Nation.
“I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for her invaluable guidance and support during my tenure as Minister of Women Affairs. Her kindness and encouragement have been instrumental to my success.
“To the people of Nigeria, I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support. Your trust and confidence in me have been a constant source of inspiration.
“I remain committed to serving my country and will continue to do my utmost to contribute to its progress and prosperity.”
