Former Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has thanked President Bola Tinubu and his wife Senator Oluremi Tinubu for the opportunity to serve.
The former Minister’s whose removal was received with cheers by staff of the Women Affairs ministry as captured in a viral video clip , further stated that it has been an honour and a privilege for her to contribute to the development of the nation.
At some point during her tenure a coalition of feminist groups and NGOs working on women empowerment wrote a public letter to President Tinubu seeking Oheneye’s removal , saying she lacked understanding of issues confronting women. The coalition also pointed controversial statements made by the minister.
But in her a letter of appreciation released to journalists on Thursday, a defiant Ohaneye thanked President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve, reiterating her commitment to Nigeria’s progress and prosperity.
The President appointed Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim, the former Minister of State for Police Affairs, as the new Minister for Women Affairs, thanking Ohanenye and the other outgoing ministers for their service.
Ohanenye also extended her gratitude to First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu for her “invaluable guidance and support” throughout her tenure, which she credited as instrumental to her success.
She expressed her deep appreciation for the unwavering support of Nigerians, saying, “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.”
