Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye who lost her position as Minister of Women Affairs, has found solace in Nollywood.
Kennedy-Ohanenye was a causality of President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet shake in October 2024, but she has now turned her attention from politics to movie making. The 51-year-old politician before joining politics had acted in several movies like Saving My Marriage,’ ‘Hunting the Angel,’ ‘Royal Ploy,’ and ‘The Cowgirls,’ along side Segun Arinze, Ngozi Ezeonu, Linda Osifo and Francis Duru.
She announced her return to the klieg lights with her film “Hatred,” sharing the link on YouTube.
Beyond acting, she is also a trained lawyer, entrepreneur and politician. In 2015, she joined the All-Progressives Congress (APC) and made history as the first woman to declare a presidential ambition under the party in the 2023 elections before stepping down for Tinubu.
“I may have been sacked from my cabinet position, but my vision has not been sacked,” Kennedy-Ohanenye said after her ouster from government.
