Super Eagles midfielder Mikel Obi is hoping to be crowned Africa's best player at tonight's GLO-CAF Awards ceremony at the prestigious Eko Hotel in Lagos,he said on Wednesday.
The Chelsea midfielder is vying for the prestigious award with two Ivorians, Yaya Toure, of English Premier League rivals Manchester City, and Didier Drogba, from Turkish club Galatasaray.
"It is an honour to be selected and nominated for the award. I am looking forward to winning it for my country," Mikel, who has twice been voted Africa's best young player, told AFP by phone from London.
The 26-year-old helped Nigeria win a third Africa Cup of Nations in February last year and also qualify for a fifth World Cup finals in November.
He also won a first-ever UEFA Europa League title for his club side. But can he win this? Can he really do it tonight?
