“Bring Lyta back”
In her post, Shiko urged the show’s producers to recreate what she described as the original energy that made the programme popular.
“Nimesema hii kitu irudiwe. My petition is that hii kitu irudiwe tukiwa millennials hapa ndani tupatie LYTA energy ya LYTA. Nyi mnajua LYTA. Na mrudishe Nicole hapo mbele penye kiti yake ilikuwa, Nicole arudi. Hivo ndo nimesema. Tuwaonyeshe vile hii mix itapewa justice.”
