A team of skit makers had on Wednesday paid a visit to the VP at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The delegation, which came under the aegis of Nigeria Skits Industry Awards, was led by its promoter, Bimbo Daramola.

Others on the delegation were Maryam Apaokagi, popularly known as Taaooma, Josh Alfred (Josh2funny), Ayo Ajewole (Woli Agba), Adebamiro Adeyanju (Mr Hyenana) and Adeoye Adeyemi Elesho (Yemi Elesho).
However, some fans criticised the comedians for visiting a representative of the FG despite the inadequacies of the administration, while others questioned Macaroni’s absence.
Taaooma’s apology came hours after she was called out on social media for accompanying some of her colleagues to the visit the VP.
She had shared some of the details of what happened during her trip to the statehouse.
That, however, did not sit well with many people online as she was dragged for visiting the VP for her personal interest.
Read her full apology below;

I also declined at first as many others. But then, at the die minute, I gave it a rethink: what if I pull a Trojan? Gain access to the state house with this “skit awards” thingy and say mymind on hot issues. Unfortunately for us, after passing through many security checks all our

Electronic devices were collected. I couldn’t even go live or record videos. All I did was do what others didn’t want to. And trust me, the VP himself was shocked when I started speaking about those issues as that wasn’t his expectations.

I’m really sorry if I have offended anyone by going that way, but I achieved my aim. I said all I could straight to the VP. The VP’s media team were in charge of photos and videos, I might have fully declined if I knew that I won’t be able to go in with my camera or phone.

The pictures taken after were sent to the “skit awards” pr team. That’s why the photos went out before we got our own hands on it. I started getting tags and some even said I was being “called out”. My plan was to get the video as soon as it’s ready and post it. But I had no cho-
