Responding to questions from newsmen in Kano on alleged crack in the Nigerian Army and the massive relocation of Nigerians to their home states over fears of post-election crisis, Obasanjo said he had decided to reserve his comments on the country for now.
The former president was in Kano to commission the second mega flyover bridge built by the state governor, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The former president said his experiences as Head of State and that of his three and half years in prison enhanced his performance when he was civilian president from 1999 to 2007.
According to him, the experience of Governor Kwankwaso in Kano has groomed him for future higher responsibility.
“The experiences you have acquired as governor will stand in good stead in future. Future is beckoning and may you be ready when it comes because some people are not ready when leadership comes to them,” he said.
Earlier, Governor Kwankwaso had explained the rationale for the construction of the flyover which is the second in the state.  The first which cost the state government N5.9bn was commissioned by General Buhari two weeks ago.
Obasanjo had in another development also told traditional rulers from the Egba Traditional Council who converged in Abeokuta for a one day seminar on how to generate wealth from their wastes while maintaining good hygiene in their environments that he had at different fora, already made his views known on the elections, in both speech and body languages in the interest of the country.
He said those were enough for anybody to make an informed decision before going to the polling unit to cast his or her vote. The former president lamented a situation where teachers and civil servants are being owed salaries for up to six months, citing Benue State as example.
