Kate Henshaw Fires Back At Those Calling Out Celebrities To Protest Against The Government

“I want to state for clarity and posterity my role in the Ojota protest. I was invited for what I and many believed was a genuine cause regarding the cost of fuel. As soon as I found out it was politically motivated I pulled out,” he wrote.

“I got a lot of backlash at the time but stood my ground. For the record I have NEVER and will NEVER affiliate with any political party that I don’t feel has the genuine interest of the people of Nigeria at heart. Even when the VP approached me to join APC, I blatantly refused as I also refused to join PDP or any other political party.”

The singer’s post might be as a result of the clamour by many on social media for celebrities to lead a protest against the government over the recent harsh economic decisions.
