With deep sadness, on behalf of the Arise Foundation and the entire Arise Family, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Peter Rufai, fondly known as “Dodo Mayana.”

Peter Rufai was not only a football legend but also a beacon of inspiration whose influence extended beyond the football pitch. His dedication to sports, his passion for youth development, and his commitment to using football as a tool for positive change left an indelible mark on Nigeria and beyond.

We were privileged to have him as part of the Arise Foundation Football Tournament, where he graciously celebrated with us, uplifted spirits, and demonstrated what it means to lead with humility, excellence, and heart. His presence was more than symbolic. It was a testament to how sports can unite, empower, and inspire communities, especially our young people.

At Arise, we believe in the power of platforms that nurture potential, build character, and shape destinies. Peter Rufai embodied these values. His life reminds us that legacies are not built only by accolades but by the lives we touch and the opportunities we create for others to rise.

As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate a life well-lived — a life that has shaped the landscape of sports in Nigeria and left us with memories that will forever challenge us to dream bigger, rise higher, and live purposefully.

Our prayers are with his family at this difficult time. May God comfort and strengthen them. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Rest on, Champion. Your impact lives on.
