I am sure that the other contenders of the CAF men's player of the year award were already aware that they had no chance of winning this award when lookman is in the equation. It's just like African goalie of the year, even though we are Nigerians and tries to project our super eagles goal keeper who was sensational both at the AFCON and after the after, it was still evident that Williams deserves it more.
This award is whY you see and spot out credibility and not what's the case with the balon d'or when some indices that ought not to be considered is used to rule out certain player. This win for Ademola lookman is a huge one for Nigeria and for the other Nigerians like the super falcons goalie that has come out two straight times as African safest hands, it's a huge victory for the nation. The coming edition will be more fieced because moh salah will be very much a part of the equation but at the end, the fate of the winner will still hing more on what playes out at the AFCON and the coming world cup qualification.
People are just trying to be dramatic over this award. Last season was so transparent that there is no one deserving the award like Osimhen and this season, no player deserves it like Lookman but we know because it's Nigerian that's why some of them are trying to start a baseless campaign because they couldn't win. I saw Morocco fans walking out of the event when Lookman was called for the other shouting Hakeem and I was like "what!"
Someone that went to the final in the Afcon and was one of our own that perform very well, the first player to win hattrick in Europa final, won domestic league for Atalanta. Anyone opposing this award is just a shameless person that doesn't even know where to stand including that official statement that PSG release, they need to be check in the nearest psychiatry hospital, they are suffering from inferiority complex but we will be there again for the next one.
