Taribo West, expert blast NFF, FG for neglecting late Super Eagles legend Peter Rufai with poor funeral recognition

Taribo West and a football expert have blasted the NFF and Federal Government for failing to properly honour late Super Eagles legend Peter Rufai at his funeral, calling it a national shame.

Former Super Eagles star Taribo West has launched a scathing attack on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Federal Government, condemning their failure to properly honour late Super Eagles legend Peter Rufai at his funeral, a situation he described as madness.

West, visibly emotional in a video shared on social media by journalist Olawale Adigun via News Central, revealed how deeply hurt he was by the lack of support from Nigerian football authorities and government agencies during the funeral rites of Rufai, who passed away on July 3, 2025, after a prolonged illness.
