Maryam Apaokagi, Nigerian comedienne better known as Taaooma, has broken her silence over her recent meeting with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
Taooma was among a delegation of skit makers who visited the vice-president under the aegis of the Nigeria Skits Industry Awards (NSIA) at the presidential villa on Wednesday.
The event has since become a subject of heated discussion among Nigerians on social media, with many users questioning the rationale behind it.
Taaooma has also been at the receiving end of intense criticism for accepting the invitation to meet Osinbajo.
But in a now-deleted Twitter thread, shared on her Instagram stories, the entertainer apologised to those who felt offended by her action.
Taaooma also disclosed that she initially declined the invitation but later changed her mind.
Taaooma said her original plan was to stream the event so the public could have knowledge of issues discussed at the meeting but security operatives collected their devices.
The comedienne said she had clear intentions joining the team that visited the presidential villa.
“Hey guys, I’m apologizing once again. I had clear intentions and nothing more,” she added.
