Lobi Stars
and former junior international, Kingsley Eduwo is among the three shortlists
for VAT Wonder Goal 8 nominees that are now up for voting to determine the
winner for Match Day 27. The other two contenders are Chijioke Alaekwe of FC
IfeanyiUbah and Wasiu Alalade of Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS).
Eduwo’s goal
came on the 44th minute in the 3-1 defeat of cup holders, Rangers International
of Enugu at the Aper Aku Stadium.
Ezekiel Mba and Anthony Okpotu scored the other two goals for Lobi Stars
while Daniel Etor got Rangers consolatory goal.
A fiercely
headed goal by Alaekwe on the 84th minute against Katsina United also made the
shortlist and was remarkably the player’s first game after a long injury
lay-off. Alaekwe connected a pass from the right side, rising highest to beat
surrounding defenders for the ball to sail to the post.
Alalade
completed the list after his combined effort with team mates late into the
fixture in Lagos against MFM reduced their hitherto 2-0 deficit.
Voting on the VAT Wonder Goal 8 will end on
Thursday at 11.59pm and the player with the combined highest vote on the NPFL
website, www.npfl.ng and twitter handle, @LMCNPFL will be declared winner for
the N150, 000 cash prize.
The VAT
Wonder Goal is an initiative of the League Management Company (LMC) to promote
club community engagement and support the tax education campaign of the Federal
Inland Revenue Services (FIRS).
Previous winners include Ayo Saka of Rivers
United, Friday Ubong of Akwa United and Salefu Ochowechi of Remo Stars. Others
are Usman Ahmed of Wikki Tourists, Shadrack Asiegbu of Abia Warriors and Rabiu
