Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, has replied critics over the fundraising dinner of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma.
Uzodinma is seeking re-election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He held a fundraising dinner on Thursday, the same day the Supreme Court affirmed President Bola Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 election and dismissed the appeals of his major contenders Peter Obi of Labour Party and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Kate and her colleague, Okey Bakassi, hosted the event, prompting some Nigerians to take to their social media platforms to express their displeasure.
Responding to the attacks online, the movie star, in a post via X, on Friday morning, defended her action, stressing the latest development would not stop her from speaking the truth about governance in Nigeria.
She 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 I is that I will still speak my truth as I see fit. End of.”
