•Declares: ‘I have never been barred from entering America’•Ex-VP on why he can’t enter USA•Vows to beat President in 2019
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday told ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar to go and deal with whatever issues he has with the United States of America (USA) instead of looking for a straw to clutch at.
He dismissed as a fiction, claim by Atiku that he (Buhari) was barred from entering the USA for 15 years on account of his religious views.
Atiku had admitted in an interview with The Boss newspaper published yesterday that he has been unable to visit the United States of America (USA) in the last few years owing to what he termed administrative denials.
He said it was wrong therefore to suggest that he was avoiding a trip to America or afraid of an arrest warrant against him in the US.
He then cited President Buhari, who according to him, was also denied entry into the US for 15 years on account of strong reservations by the White House about his religious views.
