TINUBU JOINS WORLD LEADERS CONGRATULATE AMERICAN POPE

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated His Holiness Leo XIV on his election as the Bishop of Rome and the new leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

According to the President, he rejoices warmly with the leadership and congregants of the Catholic Church in Nigeria on the historic election of the new Pontiff, whose message of faith and hope already resonates across the globe, with a reassurance from the scriptures of a more peaceful world.

In his congratulatory message, the President affirms the valued relations shared between Nigeria and the Holy See over many years while acknowledging the rewarding partnership with the Catholic Church in peace building, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and, more recently, the promotion of technology in advancing human capacity.

“I pray that the Almighty God will continuously shed his light of glory over the new leader of the Catholic Church and grant him good health and wisdom so that he can reach the world with the message of peace and love.”
