Former Super Eagles captain Mikel John Obi has claimed he
was robbed of the CAF African Player of the Year Award in 2013.
Speaking in his new podcast, Obi One, the former Chelsea
midfielder noted that he won more than Toure during the year in review.
Mikel Obi played a pivotal role as the Blues won the UEFA
Europa League.
He was also a key part of the Nigeria squad that won the
Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
However, Mikel Obi could only finish behind Toure in the CAF
Player of the Year voting.
“In 2013, it was my trophy (CAF Award) to be won. I won the
Africa Cup of Nations, I won the Champions League, the year before and the
Europa League the year 2013.
“And Yaya only won… he didn’t win anything and coming into
the ceremony, I thought I was winning, the information was that I was going to
win it, I was told by CAF I was going to win it,” Mikel Obi said.
