Former Women Affairs Minister Barrister Uju Kennedy Ohanenye has returned to Nollywood with a new movie.
The film, which she produced, marks her official comeback to the industry after her time in politics.
It was reported that on October 2024, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sacked Ms Kennedy-Ohanenye and four others.
She was replaced by Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, who was then the minister of state for police affairs.
The lawyer, who had been involved in the film industry, whose production portfolio includes ‘Mama Onboard’, ‘The Senator’, ‘The Governor’, and ‘The President’, announced the release of her new movie on her X (formerly Twitter) page on Wednesday.
She also shared the details of her new film on her Facebook page. The ex-minister wrote: “Grab your popcorn.”
Titled ‘Hatred,’ the movie features a cast that includes Sorochi Onyekwere, Onyi Maduegbunam, Ifunanya Nwobi, Kachi Obimma, and others.
A check on the 40-minute, six-second movie she produced and uploaded on her YouTube page on Tuesday, February 4, showed it has garnered 1,759 views and 26 likes.
As reported by PremiumTimes, Ms Kennedy-Ohanenye appeared in films such as ‘Saving My Marriage’, ‘Hunting the Angel’, ‘Royal Ploy’, and ‘The Cow Girls.’ She has worked with industry veterans such as Solomon Akiese, Jerry Williams, Segun Arinze, Ngozi Ezeonu, Linda Osifo, and Francis Duru.
