Ex-lawmaker Faults Lawal For Criticising Tinubu’s Visit To Vatican

Former member of the House of Representatives from Bayelsa State, Rt. Hon Israel Sunny-Goli, has slammed the former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, for describing President Bola Tinubu’s visit to the Vatican as an insult to Christianity.

According to Sunny-Goli, though the comment is not only misguided but deeply unfortunate, it is a sign of desperation for political relevance.

Sunny-Goli, who represented Brass and Nembe federal constituency in the House of Representatives and is now a traditional ruler in Brass Kingdom, released a statement on Thursday stating that President Tinubu has demonstrated remarkable religious neutrality and inclusivity in his dealings with all faith communities.

He said, “Tinubu’s administration continues to prioritise unity, tolerance, and coexistence, reaffirming the imperative of a harmonious Nigeria. Nothing illustrates his dedication to religious tolerance more than his visit to the Vatican, where he met with Pope Leo XIV during the Holy Father’s investiture.

“It is regrettable that Mr Babachir Lawal, who should be reflecting on his tenure and past controversies, has instead chosen to posture as a moral authority.

“His previous dismissal as SGF due to the infamous grass-cutting contract scandal is a well-documented matter that raises serious questions about his credibility in judging others.

 

“Furthermore, his display of religious bigotry during an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, underscores his lack of moral standing to question the president’s actions.

“His political influence remains negligible, particularly within his constituency. This must account for his desperation for political relevance, which he seeks like a drowning man clutching at straws.

 

“Nigeria stands at a crucial juncture where unity and mutual respect must be upheld. President Tinubu’s commitment to inclusivity remains unwavering, and no amount of misplaced criticism will detract from his vision for a peaceful and progressive nation.”
