Kate Henshaw flexes her political muscles as a gubernatorial aspirant in upcoming new political thriller, ‘4th Republic’. Also starring Bimbo Manuel, Sani Muazu, Enyinna Nwigwe, Linda Ejiofor and Yakubu Mohammed, ‘4th Republic’ is directed by award-winning director and writer Ishaya Bako.
“4th Republic is not just a film right for the election period,” explained star actress Kate Henshaw. “I think what is most significant is the message it carries; we need to stand up for the truth and fight for justice. It’s our duty.” She added.
After her campaign manager Sikiru (Jide Attah) turns up dead, gubernatorial aspirant Mabel King (Henshaw) challenges the victory of the incumbent, Idris Sani (Sani Mu’azu) for her mandate. King is supported by her aide Ike (Eyinna Nwigwe), and Sikiru's daughter Bukky (Linda Ejiofor) while Sani's associate St. James (Bimbo Manuel) and Ike's Law School rival, Danladi (Yakubu Mohammed) try to take down witnesses.
