On August 8, 2024, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, the Honorable Minister stormed the event titled “Unveiling the Power of Women and Food Security,” revealing that it was held without her ministry’s approval
She required their arrest, referring to President Tinubu’s dismay with the pantomime. The episode acquired wide consideration from media sources and virtual entertainment, with recordings coursing on the web.
In a video shared by the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR), the minister claimed the event, titled “Unveiling the Power of Women and Food Security,” was held without her ministry’s approval, as reported by Daily Trust.
According to the video, the minister was seen addressing bewildered attendees and apparently referring to the event organisers, stating: “That makes it a fraud. So that’s why I’m standing here to explain this to everyone. She has been arrested. She should have reorganise herself, used her name to make the invitation, and used her name to do this, not to use the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.”
As reported by Leadership on Thursday, August 8, Kennedy-Ohanenye decisively halted the proceedings, declaring, “I can’t allow this program to continue. I’m sorry about it.”*
