ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has denied claims that the United States of America denied Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a visa.
The Senate Chief Whip said claims that the US denied Tinubu visa were fake. He stressed that the latter postponed his trip to America.
Kalu in a Facebook post, blamed the opposition parties for spreading fake news against Tinubu.
He wrote: “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 a visa to the USA is as fake as other fake news.
“Tinubu postponed the travel himself and was never denied a visa. The State Department of the US confirmed to me that Tinubu will be received in the third week of December.”
Meanwhile, the APC campaign council had disclosed that the presidential candidate would embark on a foreign trip from 4 December.
Tinubu, the former Lagos State Governor, is billed to meet with global leaders and pitch his Presidential aspiration.
He is scheduled to be in London, USA, France, and some European Union member States to sell his presidential ambition to the international community.
