Buhari replies Atiku for saying president was banned from US for 15 years

President Muhammadu Buhari has hit back at Atiku Abubakar for saying the previous was restricted from the United States for around 15 years.

The president said the claim by Atiku, who as of late dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) is basically the invention of his creative ability.

Atiku had supposedly said for in regards to 15 years, Buhari couldn't enter the US on account of issues that needed to do with religion.

In his reply late Saturday, December 2, Buhari said through Femi Adesina, his spokesperson:
"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.
