Ministerial screening: “Your best friend could be your worst enemy” – El-Rufai

Date:

By Musa Baba Adamu

Days after the Senate refused to confirm him as a minister, the ex-governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, has shared a message on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, saying your best friend could be your worst enemy.

El-Rufai shared the lyrics of Bob Marley’s “Who The Cap Fit” on Sunday.

Part of the lyrics says: “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.”

Recall that El-Rufai’s name was among the 48 ministerial nominees forwarded by President Bola Tinubu to the Senate for screening and confirmation.

However, the embattled ex-governor and two other nominees didn’t sail through as they were not confirmed by the Senate, which cited adverse “security reports.”

The development generated reactions within and outside the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Although there were speculations that the former FCT Minister had opted to bow out of the race due to the delay, he has since remained silent on the development.
