NFF Reps defend their choices.

CAF Awards: Asisat Oshoala not bothered by NFF Reps’ choices.

Asisat Oshoala has responded to the evidence which showed that she was voted against by NFF Reforms Committee members which include Osasu Obayiwuana, Chisom Mbonu and former Captain of Super Falcons, Perpetua Nwokocha.

Asisat Oshoala, who equalled the record of her compatriot Perpetua Nkwocha after she won the African Women’s Player of the Year for a fourth time on Tuesday, garnered 351 votes, 30 more than Cameroon’s Ajara Nchout while South Africa’s Thembi Kgatlana earned 247 votes.

The difference between Oshoala and Nchout was the closest gap ever in the history of the Caf award.

However, the Barcelona star insists that she has no issue with Nigerians who did not vote for her.

“For me, I don’t think that anyone should be obligated to vote for anyone,” Oshoala told Goal on Friday.
