Peter Obi, who ran for president in Nigeria in 2023 under the Labour Party, has explained that his recent visit to the Vatican was not related to politics. He wanted to make it clear that his trip was for personal and spiritual reasons.

Obi was seen in Rome on Sunday during the special Mass to install Pope Leo XIV. During his visit, he reportedly met with President Bola Tinubu and former Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi. These meetings caused some people to wonder if his trip had political motives.

However, Obi quickly addressed these rumors. On Monday, he posted on the social media platform X to say that his visit was not political. Instead, he said it was a personal journey focused on his faith and spirituality.

This clarification shows Obi’s intention to separate his private life from political activities, especially during important moments like this religious event.
