Error trying to get Entity even when it exists in wikidata #175

I was trying to get the info in entity 'Minas Gerais' like following:

wd_page = wptools.page("Minas gerais")
try:
    wd_page.get_wikidata()
except LookupError as e:
    print(e)

The error gives me this link which tells that the item is missing.
However the item is actually present in wikidata pretty neatly here.

Is the issue is on the Mediawiki API end or some kind of malformed link within the library? How may I solve it? Any pointers would be appreciated.
