The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe on Friday compared the interrelationship between the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Boko Haram terrorist group and Nigerians to a game of football. Speaking on Channels Television's Abuja studios on Sunrise Daily, Okupe said "When you are playing against a very strong opponent and your goal keeper kicks away 20 or 40 shots and there are no goals but 2 minutes to the end of the match, the opponent scores one goal and you lose 1-nil, that is the one everybody remembers."
