President Bola Tinubu on Saturday declared that he looked forward to receiving Pope Leo XIV in Nigeria.
He said the Pope’s spiritual engagement was needed at a time when millions across the world were looking up to him for leadership on peace.
Tinubu made the declaration while receiving the Secretary for Relations with States and International Organisations of the Holy See, Archbishop Paul R. Gallagher, at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
The Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, ushered the Archbishop into the President’s presence, according to a statement signed Saturday by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy.
The statement is titled ‘Nigerian Government Will Continue to Partner With Religious Leaders to Promote Peace and Tolerance — President Tinubu.’
