“To the people of Nigeria, I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support. Your trust and confidence in me have been a constant source of inspiration,” Kennedy-Ohanenye stated. Despite her dismissal, she affirmed her ongoing dedication to the nation’s progress, adding, “I remain committed to serving my country and will continue to do my utmost to contribute to its progress and prosperity.”
