El-Rufai uses Bob Marley’s song to address human injustice

Following the Senate’s suspension of his confirmation a few weeks ago, Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna state, employed the lyrics of renowned singer Bob Marley’s song to criticize the unjust nature of human behaviour towards one another.
He shared that the Jamaican music icon, whom he acclaimed as one of the most gifted musicians in history, ignited his passion for Reggae music.

Using lyrics from “Who the Cap Fit,” a song collaborated on by Bob Marley and the Wailers, El-Rufai said that trust was an expensive commodity to give without much scrutiny.

He also highlighted how people’s tendencies can swiftly shift from friends to foes and vice versa.

He tweeted: “Bob Marley of the blessed memory is one of the most talented musicians of all time. My love for reggae music is connected with his songs and music.”

“Who The Cap Fit – Bob Marley & The Wailers is one of my favourites from the 1970s. Enjoy your day with the song and lyrics that are timeless.”

Going on to share the song’s lyrics, he added: “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 worst enemy.”

The immediate past Kaduna state governor was one of the 48 ministerial nominees President Bola Tinubu sent to the Senate for confirmation.

The Senate approved and confirmed the ministerial nominations of 45 appointees of the president but withheld the confirmation of El-Rufai and two others over ‘security clearance’.

He was reportedly seen at the Villa after he wasn’t confirmed by the Senate.

He also said to have withdrawn his interest in becoming a minister in the Tinubu-led administration.
