It’s Disheartening,’ Taribo West Slams Neglect Of Ex-Internationals At Rufai’s Burial
Former Super Eagles defender Taribo West has decried the treatment of late goalkeeper Peter Rufai’s family, accusing football authorities of neglecting ex-internationals.
Speaking at Rufai’s service of songs in Lagos, West lamented that both the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and Lagos FA failed to support the family, forcing them to solicit funds.
The visibly emotional ex-AC Milan star said the pattern of abandonment seen with past legends like Rashidi Yekini, Stephen Keshi, and Thompson Oliha shows why he would not advise his son to play for Nigeria.
Rufai, Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper at the 1994 World Cup and AFCON-winning squad, was buried Friday at Ikoyi Cemetery, Lagos.
