Enugu on Sunday, Okechukwu challenged Abubakar to authorize the United States Border Authority to make public his immigration status.

He said, "Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari, just weeks after the inauguration, was honored with a red carpet reception at the White House.

"Presidential contest is a beauty contest, and Buhari remains the best of those parading themselves to be President in 2019."
