Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna, has taken to social media to share a cryptic message a few weeks after his non-confirmation as a minister under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's cabinet.
Recall that El-Rufai was among the ministerial nominees who were not confirmed by the Nigerian Senate during the screening on Monday, August 7, due to security checks.
But in a post on X, formerly referred to as Twitter, on Sunday, August 20, El-Rufai 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.
“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."
