A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Daniel Bwala, has accused the presidency of deliberately misleading Nigerians about the outcome of President Bola Tinubu’s discussions with his United Arab Emirates (UAE) counterpart, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Recall that the the presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale had earlier reported that the UAE had lifted its visa ban imposed on Nigerian travelers.
He said the decision was reached after Tinubu met with UAE President, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in Abu Dhabi, on Monday.
Ngelale stated that Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines are to “immediately resume flight schedules into and out of Nigeria without any further delay”.
Reacting via his X account, Bwala insisted that Tinubu ought to apologise to Nigerians for allowing his media aide to push a false narrative.
