Speaking on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm, Kennedy-Ohanenye reflected on her tenure, leadership style and the circumstances surrounding her dismissal during a cabinet reshuffle.
“I have no regrets to date. If I could go back in time, I think I didn’t do enough; I should have been harder. It is even difficult to rule Nigerians.
“The president is working, the governors are working, but what are Nigerians doing in between? If you want to work in this country, you must go offline and be very firm. If you don’t, you will end up achieving nothing,” she said. She maintained that during her time in office she ensured proper conduct within her ministry.
According to her, she remains at peace with her record in office. “That is why I am looking fresher. I am out now, and whatever they are doing there is none of my business. When I was there, I did what made me happy, and my conscience is clear,” she added.
When asked whether she felt the President had treated her unfairly despite her performance, Kennedy-Ohanenye said political decisions often involve factors not visible to the public.
“In politics, many things go on behind the scenes. All I can assure you is that the President cannot do anything purposely to hurt me. He is proud of me, he loved the way I worked. There must have been something beyond what he could manage at that time,” she said. I am still on very good terms with him,” she added.
She was appointed Minister of Women Affairs in August 2023 and was removed on October 23, 2024, during a cabinet reshuffle that affected five ministers.
