Lere Olayinka captured it perfectly, a month after Peter Rufai's demise, then Obi jumped on it as soon as Taribo criticized the Govt (NFF). After all , everyone including Obi was aware of Peter Rufai's passing a month ago. Where was Obi since one month ago?.
-Kiss the truth!

What a stupid and baseless criticism.
Peter Rufai was buried this weekend and it's normal that the deceased family will still be receiving visitors especially those who could not attend the burial.
PMB was buried about over a month ago and the family is still receiving visitors even after moving to Kaduna.
These guys are so sick and obsessed with the name Peter Obi. I am sure the free laptop beneficiary gang will support his stupidity on this.
Lere is gradually becoming a nuisance on social media and I hope people around him would be bold enough to caution him.
What a moronic and myopic submission!
When did Obi visit Doyin Okupe family?. dey play. If Taribo didn't talk, that fraud won't bother going.

One would have thought government/NFF would do something, but there was none during the burial. So, if a private person has taken it as a challenge should there be any issue? He should be appreciated.

Forget those ones seating in Abuja waiting for crud oil to be sold so that they can collect money at the end of the month

Imagine someone being employed just to talk and earn salaries, so what did you expect. He would be ready to talk even if there is rubbery operation where he is standing grin

By now, everyone would have forgotten that Obi contested the 2023 elections! But thanks to thiefnubuu and his agbadorians for the daily rhetorics of obi's name grin grin

Now, Obi is the most talked about politician in Nigeria political space! A day hardly goes without the mention of his name cheesy cheesy

P O follow for your terms of reference? At least he got conscience he wants to cushion the effect of Nigeria on the family. You when them vote for nko? What did you do? Just becos you hear Peter Obi, you great nightmare, you crawled out of your shell. You shamelessly attacked Peter, for his empathy. We, Igbos we pay condolences to people we care about. The condolences must not be the on the very day, the deceased was buried. Nigeria is not one country our culture and tradition differ. Our yardstick for judging issues differ. So, we cannot be from the same country. The contraption called Nigeria is not going to work.

Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has sparked controversy after reacting to Peter Obi’s condolence visit to the family of late Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, visited the Rufai family on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at their residence in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos—one day after the football icon was buried.

Obi, accompanied by former international Sylvanus Okpala, spent time with the family, offered prayers, and signed the condolence register.

He explained that he had only learned of the burial date the day before, while in Abuja, and flew to Lagos early that morning to pay his respects.

However, shortly after the visit, Olayinka took to social media to question the motive behind Obi’s action.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:



https://x.com/OlayinkaLere/status/1959235834965578008?t=9kajemHourfkr1uKEhNFMA&s=19

The tweet appeared to link Obi’s visit to earlier comments made by former Super Eagles defender Taribo West, who had criticized the silence of Nigerian Football Federation and other local football association following Rufai’s death.

Olayinka suggested that Obi’s visit was a reaction to that criticism and aimed more at gaining media attention than offering genuine condolence
.

His remarks sparked mixed reactions online.

While critics of Obi echoed Olayinka’s view, accusing the former Anambra governor of using the visit for publicity, others defended Obi’s actions, describing them as sincere and timely given his explanation.
Lere just goofed on this one, chai! What a shameless personality.

Did Wike visit Peter Rufai's family? Did Tinubu visit Peter Rufai's family?

Why this obsession with Peter Obi? He keeps giving them nightmares everyday

That Peter Obi ‘chooking mouth in other regions’, as you so stupidly put it, is making you go ape….that says more about you and your panicked and insecure state of mind than anything else! Maybe if your Tinubu could act like a leader for once, a compassionate one, and put on hold whatever it is he’s doing in Japan (or is it even Brazil sef….i can’t keep up with his frenetic junketing itinerary) and head back home to commiserate and show leadership after say 30 innocent souls are slaughtered in cold blood, then maybe….just maybe, Peter Obi wouldn’t see the need to fill the void left by Tinubus’ rudderless gov’t, and you could then stop getting triggered, agitated and pissed off all the time when he does what you think is ‘stealing Tinubus’ thunder and grabbing the limelight’! wink
