Pope Comment: I’m Not Perfect, Forgive My Mistake, Lalong Begs Catholic Bishops

By The Evangelist edition, August 17, 2022.

Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State has once again apologised to Catholic Bishops over his recent comment on the Holy father, Pope Francis.

The governor gave the apology at the opening mass for the 2022 General Assembly of the Catholic Archdiocese of Jos on Tuesday in Jos.

The governor had recently said that the Pope endorsed his appointment as the Director General of the presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The comment didn’t go down well with majority of Catholics and Christians alike.

But, Lalong, who was at the event as Special Guest of Honour, said that his comment was misconstrued to be disrespect to the Pope.
