A mild drama played out on Thursday, as the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, disrupted an event in Abuja.
The programme was planned by Mela-Chiyoma PAT Limited.
In a video uploaded on X, formerly Twitter, by the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR), the minister was seen accusing the organizers of impersonation.
Uju, who took to the podium at the event, told the participants that the organisers have been arrested.
According to her, the event, tagged “Unveiling the power of women and food security,” was conveyed in the name of the ministry of women affairs without approval.
Addressing the attendees and apparently referring to the event organisers, she said: “I can’t allow this programme to go on 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 do this. You don’t take the ministry for granted, for what?”
Details of the event were sketchy as of the time this report was filed.
