The skit maker stated that when she was invited for the visit, she never wanted to go at first until she thought about it all over when she saw that she could use it as an opportunity to engage the vice president.

They collected all our devices

According to her, she could not make live videos of what she told the number two citizen as all their devices were collected before they gained entrance.

The comedienne said:

“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 of phone.”

She revealed that the skit award PR team got the photos before anybody she did and people started calling her out before she could say her own side of the story.
