President Tinubu meets with Peter Obi, Fayemi at the Vatican

President Bola Tinubu, Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential candidate, and former Ekiti governor Kayode Fayemi met at Pope Leo XIV's installation mass on Sunday in Rome.

Fayemi sighted President Tinubu, where he sat with other leaders and asked Obi to follow him to pay homage to the Nigerian leader. Obi agreed.

On getting to the President, Fayemi broke the ice between Obi and Tinubu. He said:

“Mr. President, welcome to our church, and thank you for honouring the Pope with your presence.”

President Tinubu, ever quick-witted, responded: “I should be the one welcoming you and Peter. I’m the Head of the Nigerian Delegation”.

The President’s response cracked up Obi, who agreed with the President.

Obi said: “Yes, indeed. We are of your delegation”.

Peter Obi and Fayemi are staunch Catholics and Papal knights.

A Shared Journey of Faith: Kayode Fayemi and I at the Vatican

Today, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi and I stood once again beneath the majestic dome of St. Peter’s Basilica for the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV, evoking memories of our presence here as Governors in 2013 for the inauguration of Pope Francis - a deeply significant moment for the Church and the world.

Over the years, I have returned to this sacred place on several occasions, including as part of Nigeria’s official delegation to the canonisations of Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa. Through my involvement with Scholas Occurrentes, the global initiative founded by Pope Francis, I have also participated in various efforts promoting education, peace, and intercultural dialogue.

Today’s event was particularly special, as it marked the beginning of a new papacy. I exchanged warm greetings with President Bola Tinubu and was pleased to see the diverse gathering of world leaders and pilgrims who came in faith and unity.

What stood out most was the Holy Father’s profoundly moving homily - especially his heartfelt appeal for us to journey together towards God by embracing the poor, the suffering, and the forgotten. He spoke with a clarity that pierced the heart: that the true measure of our love for God lies not in grand declarations, but in the quiet, persistent acts of comion that uplift the vulnerable and restore dignity to the marginalised.

May this clarion call to confront poverty be embraced by our leaders. For my part, I offered ernest prayers to God for our nation and also renewed my commitment to championing bold and sustained investment in the critical sectors - especially education, healthcare delivery and pulling people out of poverty - believing that a well-educated population is the foundation upon which a just, inclusive, and prosperous nation must be built.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Forget shalaye, Peter Obi is the best man to lead Nigeria to communal prosperity for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion.



If Tinubu truly love Nigeria, he ought to use his power of incumbency to make Peter Obi the President come 2027 to help redeem his image and cement his name in the sands of time as the Nigerian President that threw in the towel when he knew he could not finish the race well cool

"Fayemi sighted President Tinubu, where he sat with other leaders and asked Obi to follow him to pay homage to the Nigerian leader. Obi agreed."

Are you sure? Or somebody begged somebody to go take photos with someone?

I love Tinubu for not being a religious bigot. Even his wife is allowed to practice as a pastor beside him.

I also love Peter Obi for his elaborate wisdom. He is seems a very worthy candidate for presidency.

Dr Fayemi, a great brain in there too.

It will be well with Nigeria. Kudos to these men.
