Nasir El-rufai, the recently-retired governor of Kaduna State, published strange lyrics from a Bob Marley song on Sunday on his official X (Formerly Twitter) account.
According to El-Rufai, the late musician Bob Marley was among the greatest musicians of all time and was the source of his passion for reggae music.
The lyrics partly reads: “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 on X.
“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 fits let them wear it!â€
The now-viral tweet has continued to generate reactions on social media.
In a veiled response to El-rufai’s tweet, a former senator representing Kaduna Central Shehu Sani posted, “I have turned him into a Rastafarian and Reggae artist…yeah man.â€
Remember that El-rufai was among the 48 ministerial nominees forwarded by President Bola Tinubu to the Senate.
However, the former Kaduna state governor and two other nominees were not confirmed by the senate; the senate stated there were “adverse†security reports against el-Rufai, and he must wait for clearance.
