Former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chidi Odinkalu has criticised the women affairs minister Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye over her threat to sue the United Nations (UN).
At a press conference on Monday, Mrs Kennedy-Ohanenye claimed the UN had not been transparent in utilising funds derived from donations for Nigerians.
She gave the global body a one-month ultimatum from October 16 to November 15, 2023 to explain itself or face legal action from the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.

Her comments have been greeted with different reactions.
Joining the conversation on Monday evening, Odinkalu said Mrs Kennedy-Ohanenye should be removed from her position for embarrassing the country.
“Where did @NigeriaGov get this Minister of @FMWA_ng from, pls? For the sake of matters much bigger than anyone of us, can she just be returned to source with profuse thanks for embarassments rendered?” the rights activist wrote on X.
