BUHARI NEVER BANNED AT ANY TIME FROM ENTERING AMERICA

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, claims in an interview published
Saturday that “for about 15 years, Buhari could not enter America on
account of religious considerations.”
This fictive concoction being passed off as truth is mind boggling, coming
from a former Number Two man of Nigeria, who should know the truth. At no
time was President Buhari, as a private person, ever forbidden from
entering any country in the world. Rather, the rest of the world has
always held Muhammadu Buhari as a man of sterling qualities, strong on
integrity, transparency and accountability. The same testimony is still
borne of the Nigerian President by many world leaders today.
It is curious that former VP Abubakar had been asked why he had not
visited America for over a decade, something that had been a stubborn fact
dogging his footsteps. Instead of answering directly, he begged the
question, saying Buhari also had been disallowed from entering the same
country for 15 years, before becoming President.
We hereby make it resoundingly clear that what the former Vice President
said only exists in the realm of his imagination. If he has issues to
settle with American authorities, he should do so, rather than clutch at a
straw.
