President Bola Tinubu, Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential candidate, and former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi met at Pope Leo XIV’s installation mass on Sunday in Rome.
Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga in a post on his social media page on Sunday explained that
“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 was quoted as saying: “I should be the one welcoming you and Peter. I’m the Head of the Nigerian Delegation”.
Obi said: “Yes, indeed. We are members of your delegation”.
Peter Obi and Fayemi are staunch Catholics and Papal knights.
