Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw,
says she's taking a break from acting to join politics for just eight years. In
a chat with SaharaTV, the actress cited lengthy stay in politics as reason for
much of the problems in Nigeria, on top of corruption on the part of government
officials. Though she also said she had no money to share, she states that she
will not enter politics for the purpose of financial gain, instead she will
"push" herself to better the country. Kate told SaharaTV:
Are you quitting acting for politics?
“Well, well, I will take a break to
serve the larger population of Nigeria. I won’t quit. Arnold Schwarzenegger was
a governor and he’s back to acting again. You take time off, you serve your
people. I don’t hope to be there forever. I just want to do, make noise, leave when the ovation is loudest. That’s the best way. I don’t
want to be there for 10 years, 12 years, 16 years, that’s the best way. I want
to do other things.”
You won't exceed 4 to 8 years?
“4- 8 years. That’s the limit…you
can hold me to my word. There has to be another person, who will go through the
process, who would want to try. That’s the problem. Too many people stay in one
place for so long and other people just lose hope and say why would I even
bother.”
On how much money she has and
is willing to dole out:
“There’s no money. I can't match the
people who have been in the system for 20 to 30 years. I’m going with God and
my heart. I’m not sharing money. If you continue sharing money it will never
stop. If you want a change, a true change, then vote for me and you’ll see
the change. But if you want money, hey, go for money and stay where you are and
don't ever complain".
