Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw has broken silence following the backlash she faced for hosting a fundraising event for Imo State APC Governor Hope Uzodinma’s reelection bid.

I’m highly disappointed with Kate Henshaw that after supporting Peter Obi passionately in the last Presidential election she was seen today at an APC Governor’s fund raising campaign today, sigh.

Some of our celebs are sell outs.

If it was okay to hound Taooma for honoring an invitation from an APC Vice President, then it is okay to hound Kate Henshaw for hosting fund raisers for an APC Governor.

What is good for Greece is also good for Uganda🫢

Otunba GCFRN:

All this yeyebrities…. If Tinubu grants Kate Henshaw an appointment today she will fly with speed of light to Abuja!

Timaya or Seyi law can not attend Apc functions for business purposes but Kate Henshaw can

What is the color of your hypocrisy????

The same Kate that said nothing to do with Apc…. Just wait till any Apc leader calls her!!!

Responding to the critics, Kate Henshaw said she was only invited and she accepted to host the event.

The vocal screen diva said the opinion of the people will not stop her from speaking her truth.

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.
