Kate Henshaw Supports Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Amid Legal Battle
Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has spoken out in support of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who is currently facing a legal battle with Mrs. Unoma Akpabio, the wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
On March 5, 2025, Henshaw took to Instagram to criticize societal norms that limit women’s roles in leadership and governance. She expressed her frustration over the way women are often silenced, writing, “We forget our lineage, our history, our strength… We are told we are weak, we are spineless, and cannot think. We accept the new role foisted on us, the subtle submission imposed by religion, by society, by tradition.”
Her post comes after Mrs. Unoma Akpabio filed a lawsuit against Akpoti-Uduaghan following allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The senator had made the claims during an interview on Arise Television, which led to the legal confrontation.
Fans praised Henshaw for her bold stance, commending her courage in speaking out. Supporters flooded the comment section with messages like, “Always keeping it real and to the point! Well done sis!” and “Mama, this is boldness right here! You have my support any day!”
Henshaw’s statement highlights the ongoing fight for gender equality and the push for women’s voices to be heard in leadership and governance.
