The United States of American Visa issued to the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, will expire on November 15, 2023. Not earlier.
The two-year multiple entry Visa was issued to him by the US Embassy, Abuja, Nigeria, on November 18, 2021.
Tinubu’s US Visa status was made public based on viral reports that the US denied him Visa. The denial, the reports said, forced Tinubu to cancel a proposed trip to the USA, and instead, headed to the United Kingdom on Saturday, where he is expected to deliver a paper at Chatham House on 5th December, 2022.
A tweet by Festus Keyamo, SAN, Spokesperson for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, attributed the fake news to mischief makers. He attached Tinubu’s US Visa page to the post.
Posted Keyamo: “For mischief makers who peddle unfounded rumours about @officialABAT being denied a visa to the US, you leave us with no option but to show you his current visa (that has always been renewed since time immemorial). This is for the misguided who always believe these rumours.”
The Senate Minority Leader, Orji Kalu, had earlier, on Saturday, dismissed as fake, the reports that Tinubu was denied US Visa.
In a post, Kalu said his inquiries from the US State Department, showed that Tinubu is expected in the US, by the third week of December. He, also, added that it was Tinubu who rescheduled his visit to the USA.
