Toure is a worthy winner, says Enyeama

Nigeria’s Vincent Enyeama has
disclosed that Cote d’Ivoire skipper
Yaya Toure was a worthy winner of
the 2014 African Player of the Year
award.
Yaya won the title for a fourth
straight time after polling 175 votes
against 120 by Aubameyang while
Enyeama settled for third-place
with 105 points.
Speaking during the post-award
conference, the Lille goalkeeper
said his inability to win the coveted
crown was not a question of the
Super Eagles’ failure to reach the
2015 Africa Cup of Nations while
supporting the decision of the
Confederation of African Football to
name the Manchester City star as
Africa’s best.
“It doesn’t count. It pains me that
Nigeria will not be at the Africa Cup
of Nations and for the award, I
support the decision of tonight, a
big congratulations to him [Yaya]
and I thank God for him,” said
Enyeama.
Enyeama becomes the first
goalkeeper to make the top three
shortlist of the award since its
induction by CAF in 1992. Kanu
Nwankwo last won the award for
Nigeria in 1999 dusting off
challenge from Samuel Kuffour and
Ibrahima Bakayoko.
