The movie, which she produced, marks her official return to the industry after her stint in politics. Kennedy-Ohanenye was appointed as a minister by President Bola Tinubu on August 21, 2023, but was relieved of her duties on October 23, 2024, alongside four other cabinet members.
Since leaving office, the 51-year-old has refocused on her passion for filmmaking, a craft she nurtured long before stepping into government.
Announcing the release of “Hatred” on Wednesday via X, she shared a link to the film on Kenuj TV, her YouTube platform.
Kennedy-Ohanenye is no stranger to Nollywood. She has previously starred in films such as ‘Saving My Marriage,’ ‘Hunting the Angel,’ ‘Royal Ploy,’ and ‘The Cow Girls,’ working alongside industry veterans like Segun Arinze, Ngozi Ezeonu, Linda Osifo and Francis Duru. Beyond acting, she is also a trained lawyer, entrepreneur and politician. In 2015, she joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) and made history as the first woman to declare a presidential ambition under the party in the 2023 elections before stepping down for Tinubu.
