Veteran Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw claims that the only ‘prayers’ pouring into poor Nigerians ‘mailboxes’ are additional taxes and obligations.
Henshaw was responding to Senate President Godswill Akpabio‘s assurance to colleagues during Wednesday’s plenary session that “prayers” had been sent to them as they prepare to leave for a recess.
“In order to enable all of us to enjoy our holidays, a token has been sent to our various accounts by the Clerk of the National Assembly,” Akpabio told colleagues.
Later, the Senate President retracted the allegation, rephrasing the alleged dispersal as “prayers” addressed to their “mailboxes.”
Many people were outraged by the statement, particularly on social media, accusing legislators of being callous to poor Nigerians.
Kate Henshaw remarked that House of Assembly members are unconcerned about underprivileged Nigerians.
She wrote, “The only “prayers” going into the “mail” of Nigerians is more taxes, more burdens, more “grin & bear it”, more “we don’t give a f@#k”.
“Happy holidays to the ones meant to serve & bring succour to their constituents. Nothing do una jare.
“What’s the worst that can happen? Morning”
