God's role
The National Assembly is due to consider more than 100 proposed constitutional amendments, including whether to extend the president's term in office from two to three terms.
Mr Kayode confirmed a report in the Washington Post that quoted Mr Obasanjo as saying that God would play a part in helping him decide whether to stand again.
But Mr Kayode said it was "not accurate to put it in the context in which it was put that it would be decided by God, as if to say there were no other considerations".
"We are not ashamed of that fact that we are a nation of believers... we believe that God rules in the affairs of men," he told the BBC's Network Africa programme.
Mr Kayode said that if the constitution was changed then the president would consult with others before making any decision.
"What he [Mr Obasanjo] said is that God is not a God of abandoned projects. What he was referring to are the economic policies of this nation. What he's referring to are the economic reform programmes that this administration has set in place," the presidential spokesman explained.
"It does not necessarily mean that that means that God is going to use him in the future."
