An indifferent Kennedy-Ohaneye, however, told The Punch that she has always enjoyed dancing even in public places.
She affirmed:
“I danced because I share. When you share what you have, you invite happiness into your heart. Nigerians probably didn’t see me when I was leaving the stage. When I got to the front of the glass house, I danced again. That was when the disc jockey put ‘Buga’ music.
“I danced so hard and enjoyed my time at the convention before all the women started rushing to meet me. That was when I stopped to hug them.”

The barrister affirmed that she was unmoved and didn’t allow many of the unsavoury things being said about her on social media got to her after the presidential primary.
She said:
“Wetin concern me? I am a happy woman. I boogied down all the way. Even when they were counting the votes, I would stand and danced without a hoot about who was watching me. Let anybody hit their head anywhere if they don’t like it. I advise every other person to learn to be happy. That is the key.
“Wait till we win the 2023 general election, Nigerians will see me dancing all the way. I will wear my dancing shoes again.”
