Donald Trump’s Team Denies Inviting Former President Jonathan To Inauguration

We earlier reported about a PDP spokesperson who claimed that United States of America president Donald Trump invited ex-president of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan to his inauguration today (in case you missed it)

Now, the Trump transition committee, Great Again, has denied the reports in Nigeria that President Trump declined did not invite President Muhammadu Buhari and instead invited former president Goodluck Jonathan to the U.S 45th presidential inauguration scheduled for Friday in Washington.

The official said;

“The US State Department has advised that as in the past, foreign delegations will not be invited to Washington for the President-elect Trump’s 2017 inauguration and that heads of state and governments will be represented by chiefs of diplomatic missions in Washington,”

According to the Great Again official, Trump’s Presidential Inaugural Committee has raised a record $90 million-plus in private donations, far more than President Barack Obama’s two inaugural committees.

But while Trump has raised more money for his inauguration than any president in history, lead inaugural planner Tom Barrack said the Trump team wants to avoid a “circus-like atmosphere” in favor of a more “back to work” mindset.

He said only few foreign leaders were invited, which includes Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Canadian Prime Minister.
