Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has launched a scathing attack on the Minister of Power and President Bola Tinubu’s administration over the worsening electricity crisis in Nigeria, challenging government claims regarding the national grid outage.

In a video shared across her official social media handles, the veteran actress expressed deep frustration over the erratic power supply, revealing that electricity in many areas lasts for barely five minutes before going off.

Henshaw specifically tackled the Minister of Power over a statement attributed to him, which claimed some Nigerians requested power to be turned off because items in their freezers were over-freezing.

"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," Henshaw stated. "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," she demanded.

The movie star lamented that in 2026, Nigerians are still forced to rely heavily on alternative power options—such as costly petrol generators and solar systems—to perform basic daily domestic tasks.

She argued that the ongoing blackouts, combined with intense weather conditions and high living costs, have placed an unreasonable burden on citizens.
Addressing the situation in her post caption, Henshaw 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???!!!"

Henshaw's public outcry follows similar complaints from entertainment figures and key public voices as power distribution across major cities continues to fluctuate.
