Kate Henshaw Blasts Power Minister Over Blackouts
Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has taken a swipe at Nigeria’s Minister of Power over the persistent electricity crisis, voicing frustration at the government’s handling of the unreliable supply.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, the actress challenged the minister to name the Nigerians who allegedly asked for power to be cut off because continuous supply was damaging food items in their freezers.
Henshaw expressed shock that Nigerians were still battling poor electricity in 2026, lamenting that supply sometimes lasts for only five minutes before going off.

She noted that the situation has forced many households to run almost like factories, depending on generators and solar power to carry out basic daily activities.
Addressing the minister, she said:
“Mr Minister of Power, there’s no light. There’s hardly been light. You people will bring it, and then give minutes; it’s gone.
“You were credited with a statement that in September, some people were telling you that you should turn off the power because the things in their freezer were freezing. What is a freezer for?
“Like the lies you people tell. I need the names and numbers of these people that called you and said you should turn off the light or you should slow down.”
The actress questioned why Nigerians continue to endure epileptic power supply after so many years.
She also decried the rising cost of living and the intense heat across the country, arguing that citizens should not face additional hardship from unreliable electricity.
In the caption accompanying the video, she wrote: “In the words of General Agnes in Ghana, ‘to hell with all of you.’ What kind of wickedness is this that you people are doing??
“With the high cost of everything already, with this blazing hot sun outside?? Wetin naaaaa???!!!”
