    Kennedy-Ohanenye is a skilled lawyer, businesswoman, and politician in addition to being an actor and filmmaker.

    Prior to resigning for Tinubu, she became the first female member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to proclaim her intention to run for president in the 2023 elections. She joined the party in 2015.
