What's your point now?. He sat behind, Fayemi was there too, other Nigeria delegates also sat behind. Bishop Kukah and other bishops sat at a separate section, regular catholic faithfuls around the world were at another areas. The Pope was on the podium. But after the event, only few could go in and greet the Pope, and that's what the viral video was all about, he was denied access. Free me abeg.
Let me educate you - for free.

First, Peter Obi is a Papal Knight. And at that stage he would ordinarily enjoy some privilege not enjoyed by ordinary people.

Second, Bishop Kukah and other Catholic Bishops didn’t need Tinubu’s assistance to get a pass into the Vatican. As Local Ordinaries, they have a right to attend such events and have a special section dedicated to the clergy where they will sit.

Third, that entire section wasn’t occupied by Nigeria delegation alone. The people that came for that event were too many for the Vatican to dedicate all that section to Nigeria alone.

So, don’t put your mouth in what you don’t know next time.

Even your attempt at damage control further exposes Yu being uninformed. It seems you are ten years behind the event. This was the open field where the inauguration took place. However, after the inauguration, the Pope was ushered into a restricted area where Heads of states and diplomats could meet and greet him. That was the place Obi was trying to sneak in and Cardinal Arinze begging on his behalf before he was bounced. Get your facts right.
Can you show us pictures of the Pope being ushered into the restricted area. I want to see whether sun dey reach there or not

Peter Obi has unrestricted access to the Vatican all the time

A certain news platform had reported that Peter Obi was bounced from the VVIP section during the Papal inauguration at Vatican City. But a picture has emerged showing Peter Obi seated in the VVIP section during the event; same place with Tinubu, which questions the veracity of whatever had been reported by the local tabloid.

Before OP spreads lies, it is important to correct the narrative. Accoring to Fani-Kayode in a post on his X handle, Obi, governor was “beautifully bounced” until President Bola Tinubu intervened. and allowed to join the FG delegates[

Then with regards to the picture above, it seems to be the popular section, perhaps during the mass and not the indoor VVIP section that Obi was bounced from;

Thirdly, even this picture is suspect. Knowing how


“desperate hoebidients are, they can fabricate any evidence to make their lord look genuine. They are capable of using Photoshop to insert obi inside any picture. In fact I will not be surprised if in the following days they do not fabricate Obi taking pictures with the pope even though we know that never happened
“It seems to be” “then perhaps”

Even if you don't have cable tv to watch it live, you can go on YouTube and watch it again. After the end of service, the Pope went into a restricted section where he met and greeted selected dignitaries.

Picture Of Peter Obi In VVIP Section after he was smuggled into the hall by Father Arinze.
Meanwhile, I still doubt this photo, can anyone provide the video of Obi in that position.

Meanwhile, where is the photo of Obi with the new Pope?
So he wasn't bounced after all?

Simple English is too hard for you. Obi wasn't invited, so he was bounced. There's story making round that he specifically went to cut a deal with the president over fidelity bank debt. Secondly, I already enlightened you that your screenshot was just a view of the open field inside the Vatican where the inauguration took place. In the open field, there were different sections for different people. After the service, the Pope went into a restricted area where he received only a few selected dignitaries. I'm done here abeg.

He was beautifully bounced. If he wasn't Obi would have taken pictures with the Pope.

That open field was for VVIPs and Obi was able to access it

Unfortunately, you are gloating on a reversed question..

Peter Obi wasn't officially invited to the event

There's likely a dress code for that event because I can't remember the last time I saw president Tinubu on suit

Peter Obi was denied access to event chamber because he didn't have the pass. He eventually used presidency influence to enter as one of the delegates
