POPE LEO XIV INVITES PRESIDENT TINUBU TO HIS INAUGURATION ON SUNDAY

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will depart Abuja for Rome, the capital of Italy, on Saturday at the invitation of Pope Leo XIV.

Accompanied by top Catholic leaders, President Tinubu will attend a solemn mass marking the beginning of the Pontificate of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, the 267th Bishop of Rome and the new leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

In the Papal invitation sent by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Pope Leo XIV underscored the need for President Tinubu's physical presence "at this moment of particular importance for the Catholic Church and the world afflicted by many tensions and conflicts.

Pope Leo further stressed: "Your great nation is particularly dear to me as I worked in the Apostolic Nunciature in Lagos during the 1980s."

President Tinubu's entourage includes the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Archbishop of Owerri and President of Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria, Archbishop Lucius Ugorji, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja, and Alfred Martins of Lagos.

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah, is also in the president's entourage.

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, will be formally installed to the exalted office on Sunday, May 18, at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.

The Conclave of Cardinals elected him 27 days after his predecessor, Pope Francis, died on April 21.

President Tinubu will return to Abuja on Tuesday, May 20.

Go well Mr PRESIDENT Sir .

he has been invited online

Smooth...😎

The pope never worked in Nigeria as these useless afons are passing it out as

Respect the Pope

Everyone want to associate himself/herself with president TINUBU

Clowns...🤣🤣🤣

We have planned,,we have sacrificed,,we've waited for d right moment..Now it's time...

What a serious honour this is.

The more Obidients dislike him, the more grace is flowing through President Tinubu.

I doubt there'll be many Muslim country leaders, or even non-Catholic ones, there.

I also like as Bianca is going too, clearly showing us that, despite being APGA, she has a path to Nigerian presidency through APC.

You mumu ooo. Small thing na to run to ai, programmed by a human being, that are also dependent of other sources to process information, to get validity. Pope himself said he worked in the Apostolic Nunciature in Lagos during the 1980s but you are asking ai if he was once a priest in Lagos even as many of his past pictures in Nigeria surfaced. Na wa for people like you. Soo deep in hatred and bigotry.

Lol. The Pope is careful not to invite those who will come and ruin a happy event 'reporting' their nation to him.

The many times he came to Nigeria, did he visit Lagos or Anambra? Alaye, the Pope has identified himself as a Lagos boy and so be it. No need to angry about that. Your Agulu fraud can go and join the cheering crowd on the day of the inauguration as usual. That’s where he belongs.

Pain went straight to IgbObidients. How will they cope with this statement by the Pope now?

Have you seen the last Presidential elections in Nigeria and how all the zones voted?

Nowhere else in Africa has such happened.

Allow shame catch you small.

Almost all his entourage are from a South east.

I was thinking people from south east dislike Tinubu

I hope our brothers up North can now agreed that Muslim Muslim ticket is a scam, Tinubu is neither a Christian nor Muslim

Man is actually open. His wife is a Christian, a Pastor I think.

I'm also surprised though.

He possibly knows Tinubu during his days in Lagos when he served.

With no evidence. Meanwhile, Igbo is well known in places like SA, Thailand in particular. In fact I was shocked when that Thai police officer said 'Nigeria is a curse to Africa while Igbo is the main curse in Nigeria'. Abi you don't know? Go find out.
