Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, returned from a solemn visit to the Vatican, where he attended the recent inauguration ceremony held by the Holy See.
Obi, in a statement on Monday via X, described the trip as deeply reflective and clarified that his participation in the ceremony was not political and should not be interpreted through a political lens.
“I have just returned from the Vatican, and it was a deeply solemn and reflective visit. My participation in the inauguration ceremony was in line with my previous witnessing of inaugurations, swearing-ins, and official ceremonies across the world — this was no exception,” he said.
