United States, US lawmaker representing the Virginia’s Second District in the House of Congress is currently in Nigeria.
The lawmaker, who made this known on Sunday via a post on his official X handle said he came into the country on behalf of American people.
He said, “I came to Nigeria in the name of the Lord and on behalf of the American people.
“Just ending a very productive visit to Nigeria and rounds of meetings. More details to come. Happy Sunday. God is Great!”
