Former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, has taken to social media to share a cryptic message a few weeks after the senate refused to confirm him as a minister.
El-Rufai’s name was among the 48 ministerial nominees forwarded by President Bola Tinubu to the upper legislative chamber for screening and confirmation. However, during the screening on August 7, the former Kaduna state governor and two other nominees were not confirmed by the Senate. The Senate said there were adverse security reports against el-Rufai, and he is required to await clearance.
What most people do not know is that powerful forces within the presidency supported by Tinubu stop his confirmation as minister.
The former governor had remained silent on the issue nursing his rejection and didn’t even show up for his own son’s wedding ceremony.
His first son, Bello solemnized his marriage to his second wife.
But on Sunday, el Rufai broke his silence with a post on his X — formerly Twitter —handle where shared the lyrics of Bob Marley’s ‘Who The Cap Fit’.
“Man to man is so unjust, children/ Ya don’t know who to trust/ Your worst enemy could be your best friend/ And your best friend, your worse enemy/ Some will eat and drink with you,” the former governor wrote.
“Thank God, we’re past the worse/ Hypocrites and parasites (hypocrites and parasites)/ Will come up and take a bite (will come up and take a bite)/ And if your night should turn to day/ A lot of people would run away/ And who the cap fit let them wear it!/ Who the cap fit let them wear it!”
In what appears to be a reference to El-Rufai’s post, former Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, tweeted,
“I have turned him into a Rastafarian and Reggae artist…yeah man.”
