The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has mourned the passing of Peter Rufai, fondly known as Dodo Mayana, one of the finest goalkeepers to ever wear the green and white for the country.
This was contained in a press release by the ADC national spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, issued on Friday.
“As a giant of African football, Peter Rufai exemplified the brilliance, courage, and determination of the Nigerian spirit. On the field, he was not just a player, he was a symbol of pride for an entire nation.
“With every save, every kick of the ball, and every opportunity he had to play, Rufai represented Nigeria and the Super Eagles with unmatched passion, skill, and grace.
“Today, as we celebrate his remarkable life, we also mourn the passing of a man and a legend, whose love for the beautiful game and deep devotion to his country inspired generations. He leaves behind an indelible mark on the history of Nigerian football,” he said.
