Commenting on the Southern Kaduna crisis, Obasanjo cautioned Nigerians not to comment on the incident if they do not have detailed reports.

In his words: “My findings so far show that everyone is talking from the position of strength. People are not talking from knowledge of what they know and this is not helping. We must be able to dump all our sentiments to overcome the challenges.

“Just like other cases of injustice around us, we need peace; it is only peace with justice that can solve all these crises. Genuine peace is what everyone is craving for and this can only come when there is justice.”
