Mr Peter Obi, former Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, has called on Catholic faithful across the world to pray and ask God for a Pope full of compassion, humility, and steadfast commitment to serving humanity.
Obi made the call in his X social media handle on Wednesday May 7, 2025.
He said: “As Christians and Catholics, we join our hearts in earnest prayer with all people of goodwill, as the conclave begins today.
“May God, in His infinite wisdom, guide the Cardinals in their sacred duty for a most fruitful and blessed outcome.
“We pray that the Cardinals are granted divine insight to choose a successor who will continue to lead with compassion, humility, and a steadfast commitment to serving humanity.
“May this process be filled with grace, and the outcome reflect God’s will for His Church and for the whole world.”
