You Make Your Heaven And Hell On Earth—El-Rufai Drops Another Song
Source: Vanguard paper
Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has posted the lyrics of another song titled ‘You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth’ X social media platform on Wednesday.
This was the third song that El-Rufai would post on X, after dropping ‘Who The Cap Fit’ by Bob Marly and The Wailers, and ‘One Moment in Time’ by Whitney Houston on Sunday and Monday respectively.
The former governor has resorted to posting songs to pass messages to Nigerians following the failure of the Senate to confirm him on his ministerial nomination.
El-Rufai, and two other nominees — Stella Okotete (Delta) and Danladi Abubakar (Taraba) were not confirmed as the Senate said it awaited security clearance about them.
Prior to the commissioning of the new ministers, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and El-Rufai visited President Bola Tinubu, over the saga but the meeting yielded no result.

Senator Tinubu gave the assurance while hosting wives of Service Chiefs and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), led by the wife of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and President of the Defence and Police Wives’ Association, Mrs. Oghogho Musa.
A statement yesterday in Abuja by her spokesperson Busola Kukoyi said the First Lady assured fellow Nigerians that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration was doing everything possible to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal and ensure that the gains of the policy materialize for general prosperity.
She said her pet project, the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), was supporting the government to reduce the impact of the fuel subsidy removal on the citizenry.

The governor on Tuesday in Maiduguri said this is a result of the N5bn presidential initiative received by the state from the Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government to allete the hardship and sufferings among the people in the state.
It was reported that each household will be made up of six family members to be multiplied by 400,000, which, by implication, moves Zulum’s new target to 2.4 million individuals.
