President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday arrived back in Abuja following his attendance at the Inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV held in Rome.
Naijaonpoint reports that the President, who arrived through the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, was welcomed by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje.
Recall that President Tinubu, on Sunday, commended the humility of Pope Leo XIV.
Tinubu said the humility of the new Pope and his history with Nigeria serve as a reminder of the moral leadership the world desperately needs.
He also affirmed the commitment of Nigeria as a nation to promoting peace, unity and progress across the world without bias for race or religious belief.
Tinubu made the submissions in a post via his 𝕏 account shortly after his meeting with Pope Leo XIV in Rome.
He also prayed for God’s guidance for the new leader of the Catholic church worldwide.
“Today, at the Vatican, upon the personal invitation of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, I joined world leaders and millions of Catholics in witnessing the beginning of a new papacy.
“Pope Leo XIV’s humility, history with Nigeria, and message of peace remind us of the moral leadership the world desperately needs.
“As a nation of deep faith and great diversity, Nigeria remains committed to building bridges across belief, race, and continent—for peace, for progress, and for all of humanity.
“May the Almighty guide the Holy Father and strengthen all who labour for a more just and compassionate world,” Tinubu wrote.
