Renowned Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, has stressed the importance of the public’s right to hold leaders accountable for their unfulfilled commitments.
The veteran actress firmly believes that since politicians have volunteered to serve the nation, they must be prepared to demonstrate transparency and responsibility towards the people they are guiding.
Henshaw argued that this is an entirely justified expectation because citizens are not mindless automatons, and they hold certain anticipations from their leaders based on the promises made.
Expanding on her viewpoint, the fitness enthusiast cautioned politicians who are averse to scrutiny and public criticism to reconsider their involvement in political roles.
In her words: “There is nothing absolutely wrong with holding leaders accountable to their words. They put themselves up to SERVE & made promises to people. They are not leading zombies. If you don’t want to be criticized & made to keep your word, stay in your house and boil water.”
