Tinubu Not Visiting US Vice President, Says Presidency

The Presidency has dismissed reports claiming that President Bola Tinubu will travel to the United States on Tuesday to meet with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance.

Reacting to the report, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi, described the story published by Sahara Reporters as false and misleading.

In a post on his verified X handle, @TheTemitopeAjayi, the presidential aide wrote:

“There is a Sahara Reporters story that President Tinubu is going to the US on Tuesday to see US Vice President J.D. Vance.

“That story is not true. I can see that the fake news by Sahara has become the basis for some uninformed commentaries since yesterday. If President Tinubu is going to the White House, he won’t be going to see a Vice President.”
