Obasanjo Says He Will Not Talk Until February 14th

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo Today in Kano refused to comment on the agitations surrounding the suspension of the February 14 General Elections, saying “I will comment on the election until 14^th of February.”

Obasanjo who was in Kano on the invitation of the Kano state governor Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to commission the multi billion naira flyover located at the Ibrahim Taiwo road, commended Kwankwaso for the giant stride he has achieved in the provision of basic infrastructure in the state.

He said Kwankwaso has actually made him proud by not disappointing the people of Kano of his leadership quality in steering the affairs of the state peacefully.

Obasanjo who spoke on what the future could hold for Kwankwaso said; “Kwankwaso, it is very instructive to note that, and I will like to once again appreciate you for what you have done and what you are doing here.

“As I said, the experience you have acquired as minister of defence, will continue to help you, I hope that such quality will stand for you for future endeavors, because I believe God has not finished with you yet.

“My prayer and hope as you move along in life is that whatever your hand finds to do, you will do it in the best of your ability because the future is still beckoning.”

Obasanjo who eulogizes Kwankwaso said; 

“Before I came to Kano this time, I have been hearing from the people who have been visiting Kano, that you have paid great attention to infrastructural development, I know of course you have also paid great attention to education and I said this to you.

“From what I see you doing in education, sending Kano citizens who can excel to different universities in Nigeria, opening a second university in the state and also sending them to universities abroad. I say this to you 10 to 15 years from now, when all this measures you have taken have matured and yielding fruits, I will not be surprise to find Kano men and women in all corners of Nigeria,”.
