A public event in Abuja ended up having a twist in its tale when the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, publicly interrupted the programme.
At the event organised by Mela-Chiyoma PAT Limited, Mrs. Kennedy-Ohanenye accused the organisers of impersonation.
According to a viral video, Minister Kennedy-Ohanenye 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.”
The minister decisively halted the proceedings, declaring, “I can’t allow this program to continue. I’m sorry about it.”
She explained the necessity of involving law enforcement agents, “We had to involve the police because this is pure impersonation, and the president is not happy about it. I’m saying it, let the media cover it, we don’t care. You don’t take the ministry for granted, for what?”
LEADERSHIP was unable to independently verify what the event was all about and when it took place at press time on Thursday.
