Women Affairs Minister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye yesterday stopped an event organised in her ministry’s name without her permission.
She accused the organisers of impersonation.
The minister stormed the event organised by Mela-Chiyoma PAT Limited, saying it was without her consent.
Kennedy-Ohanenye, who took the podium, told the participants that the organisers had been arrested
The event was on the power of women in achieving food security.
In a clip shared by The ICIR on X (formerly Twitter), the minister could be heard saying: “She (the organiser) has been arrested. She should have reorganised herself, used her name to design the invitation and used her name to do this, not to use the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.
“I can’t allow this programme to go on. I’m sorry about this. This is pure impersonation and the President is not happy about it.
“I’m saying it. Let the media cover it. You don’t do this. You don’t take the ministry for granted. For what?”
