Buhari never banned at any time from entering the US- Presidency

The presidency has denied that president Muhammadu Buhari was banned from entering the United States for 15 years.

“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, said Femi Adesina, spokesperson to the president in a statement.

“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.”

Atiku in an interview claimed that Buhari was barred from the United States for 15 years due to his religious views.
