Kate Henshaw Berates Power Minister Over Epileptic Electricity Supply

Veteran Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has berated the Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, over the persistent epileptic electricity supply in the country, questioning why Nigerians are still struggling with unreliable power despite the huge investments in the sector.

The actress expressed her frustration in a video shared on her Instagram page on Friday, where she challenged the minister over a reported claim that some people had complained about excessive electricity supply because their freezer contents were getting too cold.

Demanding to know who made such complaints, Henshaw said, “What's freezer for? For cooling and watering down, 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 lights or slow down.”

She lamented that Nigerians had continued to endure poor electricity supply in 2026, forcing many households to rely on generators, inverters and solar energy to power their homes.

“There's hardly electricity in 2026. We are still talking about electricity. People have generators, inverters, solar... Homes are now like factories. Everybody is just trying to generate power,” she said.

The actress also questioned why Nigerians continued to pay electricity bills despite having to make alternative arrangements to generate power for themselves.

Comparing the situation with the previous administration in the power sector, Henshaw noted that while the former minister Adebayo Adelabu, increased electricity tariffs, the current situation under Tegbe had not translated into improved supply.

“You may not have increased tariff, but there's no light, so you're lying,” she said.

Expressing further frustration over the situation, the actress lamented that the high cost of living and the intense heat had made the poor electricity supply even more unbearable for Nigerians.

In the caption accompanying the video, Henshaw echoed her displeasure, quoting General Agnes in Ghana as saying, “To hell with all of you.”

She added: “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?!!!”
