Gombe United forward, Sani
Abbani hs emerged the winner of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)
VAT Wonder Goal 9 for Match Day 28 in a close race that saw him edge closest
rival, Sunshine Stars Joseph Abiodun with Abu Azeez of Shooting Stars coming a
distant third.
Interestingly, the Sand
Eagles star, Azeez was the runaway winner for fans who voted on the twitter
platform; gathering 53 percent of the total 305 votes but fell far behind on
the website polls where he picked just 50 of the total 1008 votes.
On the other hand, Abiodun
cam second on all the polls but was unable to secure sufficient numbers to
upstage Abbani who finished bottom of the tally on the twitter platform.
Votes on the website were
nearly evenly shared between Abbani and Abiodun but it was the Gombe United
player that carried the day with a total of 524 bringing his combined votes on
the website and twitter to 582.
Abiodun had 434 votes from
the website polls and another impressive 85 votes of the 305 from the twitter.
Abbani thus becomes the VAT Wonder Goal Award’s ninth winner with his goal
scored on Match Day 28 against North East neighbours, El-Kanemi Warriors of
Maiduguri in his side’s 2-0 win.
Abbani will receive a cash
reward of N150, 000 and I expected to nominate a charity based in the state for
donation off half of the prize.
The VAT Wonder Goal award
is corporate social investment of the League Management Company (LMC) and is
supported by the Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), using the league
platform to promote its tax education campaign.
