Reactions As Sacked Minister Returns To Old Job (Video)

Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, Nigeria’s former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, has resumed her law practice following her dismissal by President Bola Tinubu during his first cabinet reshuffle.

In a heartfelt video shared on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Kennedy-Ohanenye revealed that she was back in court to use the instrument of the law to get justice for a 5-year-old girl allegedly raped by her class teacher.

The former minister expressed her unwavering commitment to justice, particularly in defending vulnerable Nigerians, including children.

“I remain committed to fighting for a better society. My passion for justice remains unwavering, and I will not tolerate any form of abuse. Today, I represented a heart-wrenching case involving a 5-year-old girl who was sexually abused by her teacher. This strengthens my resolve to combat such heinous crimes.”- Kennedy-Ohanenye wrote on using the law to fight injustice.

She also issued a stern warning to perpetrators of such acts, vowing to relentlessly pursue justice in her professional capacity.

Kennedy-Ohanenye was removed from her ministerial role in October 2024 alongside four other ministers, including Lola Ade-John and Jamila Bio Ibrahim. Her appointment in August 2023 was widely regarded as a reward for her loyalty to President Tinubu, having stepped down for him during the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primaries.

Her action is received by many as a right step in the right direction as netizens appreciate her efforts to pursuing the case even after been sacked from her previous position as a federal minister. See some netizens’ reactions below;
