Former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has made a comeback to Nollywood with a new movie.
Persecondnews recalls that Kennedy-Ohanenye was relieved of her duties on October 24, 2024, by President Bola Tinubu, alongside four other ministers in a minor cabinet shake-up.
Nearly five months after her dismissal, the 51-year-old has returned to her roots in the film industry, pursuing her passion as a producer. Kennedy-Ohanenye was replaced by Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, who served as the Minister of State for Police Affairs.
The lawyer, whose production portfolio includes ‘Mama Onboard’, ‘The Senator’, ‘The Governor’, and ‘The President’, announced the release of her new movie on her X (formerly Twitter) page on Wednesday.
Titled ‘Hatred,’ the movie features a cast that includes Sorochi Onyekwere, Onyi Maduegbunam, Ifunanya Nwobi, Kachi Obimma, and others, while a check on the 40-minute, six-second movie she produced and uploaded on her YouTube page on Tuesday shows it has garnered 1,759 views and 26 likes.
She had appeared in films such as ‘Saving My Marriage’, ‘Hunting the Angel’, ‘Royal Ploy’, and ‘The Cow Girls’, and has worked with industry veterans such as Solomon Akiese, Jerry Williams, Segun Arinze, Ngozi Ezeonu, Linda Osifo, and Francis Duru.
Kennedy-Ohanenye, a member of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in 2023, contested the presidential primaries under the All Progressives Congress (APC) but later stepped down for the incumbent President.
