In the Papal invitation sent by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Pope Leo XIV underscored the need for President Tinubu's physical presence "at this moment of particular importance for the Catholic Church and the world afflicted by many tensions and conflicts".


Pope Leo further stressed: "Your great nation is particularly dear to me as I worked in the Apostolic Nunciature in Lagos during the 1980s."


President Tinubu's entourage includes the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Archbishop of Owerri and President of Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria, Archbishop Lucius Ugorji, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja, and  Alfred Martins of Lagos.


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.
