Confirmation
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, Yekini Nabena revealed he was aware of the intended visit.
He, however, said it was not an official visit.
”Mr Clinton’s visit is not an official visit, it has no consequence to the party. I am aware that President (Donald) Trump did not even direct him to come and discuss any matter with President Buhari,” he said.
”Maybe he (Clinton) just wants to visit Mr Buhari as a former president as he has no ‘influence’ or anything to do with the government,” he added.
