It’s Fake, Tinubu Not Denied US Visit; Will Visit Third Week December – Orji Kalu

By Adesina Soyooye

The viral news that the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, was denied entry Visa to the United States of America has been dismissed as  fake.

The story which made the rounds on Thursday said the Embassy of the US in Abuja, Nigeria, denied Tinubu Visa. This, the  report claimed, forced Tinubu to change his itinerary. Instead of his planned US trip, he will be headed to Chattam House, United Kingdom.

But Orji Kalu, Senate Chief Whip, in a post on his Facebook Saturday, dismissed the story as fake, and a lie from the pit of hell.

According to Orji, it was Tinubu who  postponed the trip to the US due to his schedule.

Inquiries from the State Department, Orji disclosed, showed that the APC Presidential Candidate is expected to arrive the US about the third week of December, and is being expected by US officials. He attributed the fake news to the opposition.

Orji: “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. 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.”
