The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe and his team are obviously under a lot of pressure with the mounting demand on the Goodluck Jonathan administration to bring back the hundreds of schoolgirls abducted by men suspected to be members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect.

After highlighting the intensified efforts of the Nigerian Armed Forces to search for the missing girls, Okupe was attacked on Twitter by a follower who described him as “stupid.”

Not known to take such missive without responding, Okupe tweeted back at the tweep telling him he doesn’t “look too sharp yrslf.”

@uumbello why must u result to insults. If u have contrary facts bring them up. U don’t look too sharp yrslf

The Presidential aide had tweeted yesterday wondering why Jonathan was being blamed for the schoolgirls’ abduction instead of Boko Haram – the real culprits.

He posted this:

I dnt understnd some of folks.they are not angry wt boko haram who kidnapped d girls rather they are angry wt d President tryn 2 find them — Doyin (@doyinokupe) May 6, 2014

Well, some would tell him the buck stops at the President’s table and not Shekau’s.
