Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano was not stopped from returning to Nigeria by US authorities, his aide has said.
Online reports had said the governor was prevented from returning to Nigeria because of an altercation he had with some airport officials.
However, Anambra commissioner for information and public enlightenment C-Don Adinuba on Wednesday said the report was falsified.
“The governor travelled with a diplomatic passport. So, the story is rubbish. It’s nonsensical and foolish to think that somebody with a diplomatic passport can be stopped from returning to his country for any reason by airport authorities,” Mr Adinuba said.
“We know the author of that garbage. He is an aide to a governorship aspirant. He was jobless until he was engaged recently by the aspirant and he wants to impress his paymaster.”
