Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has debunked the latest fake news being circulated by the opposition on Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, regarding his US visa.
A news blog being used by the opposition, Pointblank News claimed that Tinubu has been denied a visa to the U.S.
The false news was similarly spread in September, but debunked with information that Tinubu did not need a new visa as he has a subsisting one that will not expire till November next year.
But the mischievous opposition recycled the lie today.
The Tinubu campaign did not need to shame the purveyors of falsehood, by itself.
A befitting response was issued by Senator Orji Kalu on Facebook, as 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 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”. OUK
