Vincent Enyeama has insisted that he holds no grudges, after Yaya Toure was named 2014 CAF African Player of the Year.

The Ivorian won the award for the fourth consecutive year, after polling 175 votes. Gabon’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came second with 120 votes, while Enyeama got 105.

Enyeama stated that his loss was not related to the Super Eagles failing to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations and supported CAF’s decision.

“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 congratulation to him [Yaya] and I thank God for him,” he said.

The last Nigerian to win the prize was Kanu Nwankwo in 1999.
