“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.

“As the presidential candidate of our party with outstanding personality, he will be warmly welcomed in the United States”, Sen. Kalu posted on his verified Facebook page.
Sen. Kalu said the former Lagos governor is an outstanding personality and will be warmly received in the US.
