Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw didn’t keep mum to the heavy criticisms she received for hosting APC Governor, Hope Uzodinma‘s fundraiser.

Many were taken aback by the movie star’s hosting role at the celebration, considering she was a fervent advocate of the Labour party government and had harshly criticised the APC leadership.

On Thursday night in Owerri, Imo State, Kate Henshaw and comedian Okey Bakassi organised a fundraiser for APC governor, Hope Uzodinma.

The governor, who is rerunning for governor of Imo state, wanted to raise money with the fundraiser.

As the event’s videos circulated online, many harshly criticised her.

Kate Henshaw disclosed that a close friend had called her when she woke up to tell her that she was trending on the internet.

In defence of herself, she said that she accepted her colleague’s invitation to hold a fundraiser and didn’t understand why so many people were upset about it.

She claims that what sets her apart from other people is her unwavering commitment to speaking the truth as she perceives it.

Kate Henshaw wrote:

“Someone called me this morning to check the X app. I was invited to host a fundraiser alongside my colleague. I accepted, my prerogative. What is the noise about? The difference btw you and me is that I will still speak my truth as I see fit. End of”.

“Coffee & water time Biko. Let me wake myself up. It was a long night”.
