Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has spoken out about her experience during the 2023 general elections in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo.

The actress disclosed the genuine concerns her family had for her safety during that period.

Henshaw recalled her sister’s advice, prompting her to take extraordinary measures, such as sharing the combination with a safe and designating her sister as the next of kin on her bank account.

As one of the proactive Nigerian celebrities in 2023, Henshaw actively used her influence to educate and mobilise the masses regarding the elections.

Despite facing criticism for her outspoken stance, particularly for calling out flaws in the Electoral Commission, she remains resolute in her belief that silence is not an option on issues she holds dear.

Speaking further about what motivated her, Henshaw revealed that her commitment to activism and speaking truth to power is rooted in her personal history of surviving domestic violence.

She expressed a profound dedication to living a life of authenticity, free from the influence of money.

Henshaw emphasised her desire to speak openly and truthfully, asserting that wealth should serve her, not control her.

The commitment reflects her unwavering belief that courage and strength are meant to be used in the pursuit of truth, even in the face of potential risks.
