Kate Henshaw blasts Tinubu govt over electricity crisis, demands names of 'freezer complainers'
Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw tore into the Minister of Power in an Instagram video posted today, calling out the government's explanation for Nigeria's persistent electricity crisis. She specifically challenged a reported claim that some Nigerians complained continuous power supply was "affecting items stored in their freezers" — asking "What is a freezer for?" and demanding the names and numbers of these alleged complainants.
Henshaw described power supply as barely existing, sometimes lasting only five minutes before cutting off. She said the situation forces households to operate like factories, relying on generators and solar for basic daily activities. Her caption intensified the criticism: "In the words of General Agnes in Ghana, 'to hell with all of you.' What kind of wickedness is this?"
With inflation driving up costs and extreme heat across the country, the actress framed unreliable electricity as an added cruelty Nigerians shouldn't have to endure in 2026.
The video has sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing similar frustrations about paying for Band A service but receiving Band E supply. Will sustained celebrity pressure push the ministry beyond excuses to actual grid improvements, or will this become another viral moment without policy consequences?
