Waki Lebon :
The nominees for the 2008 African Player of the Year award were: Emmanuel Adebayor Sheyi (Togo/Arsenal FC), Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast/Chelsea FC), Mohammed Aboutreika (Egypt/Al Ahly), Michael Essien (Ghana/Chelsea FC), and Amr Zaki (Egypt/Wigan Athletic). Emmanuel Adebayor Sheyi, having outshone and surpassed the other players, was named the CAF African Player of the Year thanks to his exceptional performances with Arsenal FC and the Togolese national team; particularly for his prolific season, scoring 32 goals in all competitions. The ceremony took place in Lagos, Nigeria, on February 10, 2008, where our legend SEA received the African Player of the Year award, bringing great honor to Togo, Arsenal FC, and the world. Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor was, is, and always will be a legend. Thank you.
Signed, Waki Lebon
