Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has dispelled rumors that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, was denied a visa to the United States of America.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, the former Abia State Governor called the story “false news,” claiming Tinubu postponed his trip unilaterally and was never denied a visa.
As the election approaches, he predicts that the opposition will distribute more false information about their presidential candidate, urging party members to ignore it and keep their eyes on the ball.

Orji Kalu stated that the US State Department confirmed to him that Tinubu would arrive in the third week of December.
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. As the presidential candidate of our party with an outstanding personality, he will be warmly welcomed in the United States. OUK.”
The APC Presidential Campaign Council said this week that Tinubu will travel to various countries beginning December 4 to meet with global leaders and sell his presidential candidacy.
