i think Ghanaian coaches are wicked no single vote for Yaya and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

JumiR:
Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been crowned CAF African Player of the Year for the first time.

The 26-year old beat Ivorian Yaya Toure and Ghana’s Andre Ayew to the crown, the most prestigious individual award in African football. He polled 143 points, seven more than Toure whilst Ayew finished a distant third with 112 points.

He thus becomes the first from his country, Gabon, to win the prize and was decorated at the 2015 Glo-CAF Awards Gala held on Thursday, 7 January 2016 at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, Nigeria.

The feat by Aubameyang ended the four-year reign of Toure, which lasted 2011 to 2014.

For the African Player of the Year – Based in Africa, Tanzanian Mbwana Aly Samatta was decorated, becoming the first from East Africa to win the coveted prize, reserved for footballers plying their trade on the continent.

Samatta garnered 127 points, ahead of his TP Mazembe teammate and DR Congo goalkeeper Robert Muteba Kidiaba, who amassed 88 points. Algerian Baghdad Bounedjah trailed in third place with 63 points.

Cameroonian Gaelle Enganamouit was adjudged Women’s Player of the Year becoming the first from her country to pick up the prize.

It was double delight for hosts Nigeria with two prizes, Victor Osimhen – Youth Player of the Year and Etebo Peter Oghenekaro – Most Promising Talent of the Year.

For guiding Cote d’Ivoire to continental glory, former coach Herve Renard was named Coach of the Year and ‘Les Elephants’ as National Team of the Year. Cameroon scooped the Women’s National Team of the Year prize and DR Congo giants, TP Mazembe, Club of the Year, whilst Gambian Papa Bakary Gassama went home with the Referee of the Year award.

Former Ghana coach Charles Kumi Gyamfi and Cameroonian Samuel Mbappe Leppe were honoured posthumously in the African Legend category. Edwin Gyamfi received the honour on behalf of his dad whilst …… picked the prize for Mbappe Leppe.

The event, sponsored by Nigerian telecommunication outfit, Globacom, was a night to celebrate and reward sporting excellence, also showcased superb and first-class entertainment from outstanding entertainers across different parts of Africa. There were musical performances by Shatta Wale (Ghana), Ahmed Soultan (Morocco), Salif Keita (Mali), Awilo Longomba (DR Congo) and Nigerians King Sunny Ade, Dija, Korede Bello, Flavour, Omawumi, Bez and Ego.

Interesting to see that Nigeria voted Ghana's Ayew as Africa's best. Lesson.

Meanwhile, do people still believe CAF sit down and just "dash" someone APOTY with all these public info? I have not heard of Isa Hayatou/Francophone conspiracy this time around.

It is because no Nigeria Player was nominated for the award.

You're wrong. He's from DRC Congo.

...nd who told yu Awilo is from Benin Rep?

Our super eagles team, none good for even bench but members of our youth team selected for the bench....interesting observation.

CHAI NO SINGLE NIGERIA PLAYER MADE IT TO AFRICA 1ST ELEVEN OMG! IT'S SO EMBARRASSING TO OUR FOOTBALL

What should we do differently to be recognised again in football? I watch guys in the street and I'm always wowed, why can't we make these Street ballers the star they are? Okocha, Kanu, Finidi are all gotten playing bare footed, let's do this again. Really not happy seeing Nigerian footballers being sidelined yearly.

Wizprodigy:
Atleast the caf awards is not as partial as headies awards. The awards given to people who deserves it.

Sharaap!! Awilo is from DRC formerly known as Zaire. My four year old knows that!

Wow Samuel Mpappe Leppe...As a Cameroonian I grew up listening to lots of stories about this Legend. His glory was the strength of his shot. It is said he always tore the net with his penalty kicks, he threw a lawn tennis ball into the air and it returned after four days, he cut off someones head with the kick of the ball, he was burried at the stadium.

What is happening to Nigerian football?

where is maharez
