Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Wednesday 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 14th of February.”
Former President 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, 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 endeavours, 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.”
“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,” Obasanjo added
