The current security challenges in Nigeria has been compared to the many down challenges faced by a top English Premier League (EPL) football club, Manchester City.
In a Facebook post shared on Thursday, May 13, Presidential Media Aide, Femi Adesina, said the drama that has characterized the initial ordeals of the club has a lot of lessons for Nigeria presently.
Femi added that the fact that Man.City got crowned champions three games to the end of the season after Manchester United lost 1-2 to Leicester City, holds great significance for Nigeria.
He asserted in his comparison that Nigeria is sure to rise from its current predicament under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He maintained that through all Man.City's setbacks and failures, the club tightly held on to the undying hope of rising to the top of the league.
His statement reads in part;
"Who says Nigeria will not rise from its current travails? Who says Aiye will always win? Not where God is involved. And God is involved with Nigeria, our own dear native land. Under President Buhari, peace and security would be restored.
"Man City bounced back from the ashes to emerge victors. It has won the Carabao Cup this season, and may win the Champions League on May 29, if her luck holds. Liverpool would be back someday soon. Just as Nigeria would confound the enemies, and it would happen under Buhari’s leadership. The Good Book has said it, in Micah 7:8: “Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall rise again.”
