“For mischief-makers who peddle unfounded rumours about @officialABAT being denied 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 ones who believe these rumours:
A statement had been released earlier by the APC presidential campaign council, announcing that Tinubu would be embarking on a trip to the United States and other European countries to intensify his presidential campaign.
It was further gathered that Tinubu would speak at Chatham House in London with a host of foreign investors and economic brainiacs to break down his presidential bid and plans for the country.
Following the report, there were claims that Tinubu was denied entry into the US based on some allegations levelled against him.
News that Tinubu was denied US visa fake
However, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, an APC Chieftain and former governor of Abia state, described the rumour as fake.
According to him, the opposition will spread more fake news against Tinubu as the election draws closer.
He added that the APC presidential candidate will be warmly welcomed to the US.
