The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Hassan Kukah, is also in the president's entourage.


Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost,  will be formally installed to the exalted office on Sunday, May 18, at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.


The Conclave of Cardinals elected him 27 days after his predecessor, Pope Francis, died on April 21. 


President Tinubu will return to Abuja on Tuesday, May 20.
