According to The PUNCH, Ohanenye was one of five ministers relieved of their duties following the 19th Federal Executive Council meeting at the State House, Abuja, on Wednesday.

“I am profoundly grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for granting me the opportunity to serve as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It has been an honor and a privilege to contribute to the nation’s development,” she stated.
She also took the time to thank Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her support and guidance throughout her tenure, which she credited as being pivotal to her achievements in office.
“To Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I offer my deepest thanks for her invaluable guidance and support. Her encouragement played a significant role in my success as Minister of Women Affairs,” Ohanenye added.
In her message, the former Minister also expressed gratitude to the people of Nigeria for their trust and support during her time in office, pledging to remain committed to the country’s progress.
