The Senator representing Abia North at the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu says Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not denied visa to the US, but postponed the visit by himself.
Kalu was reacting on insinuations that Tinubu, who is the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress was denied visa to the United States of America.
In a statement Kalu made available to THE RENAISSANCE NEWS in Umuahia, he said “As the election draws closer, the opposition will spread more fake news against our presidential candidate but we should always ignore and keep our eyes on the ball.
“The news that Tinubu was denied visa to the USA is as fake as other fake news”.
He further explained, “Tinubu postponed the travel himself and was never denied visa.
“The State Department of the US confirmed to me that Tinubu will be received in the third week of December.
“As the presidential candidate of our party with outstanding personality, he will be warmly welcomed in the United States”.
Tinubu was due to be in the United States for political matters but is still in the country.
