Pa Michael Obi, father of Super Eagles and Chelsea of England star, Mikel Obi has blamed the President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Isa Hayatou for not awarding his son the 2013 African Footballer of the Year award.

The older Obi according to Punch alleged that the CAF president had always exhibited what he termed ‘a dislike’ for footballers from Anglophone countries. ‘We know that it was he, Isa Hayatou (CAF President), that denied him that award.

Yahaha (Yahaya Toure, the eventual winner) himself said so that his friend is worthy to take the award’, he concluded.

Pa Obi however said that his family were not concerned that Mikel did not win the award but believes that he will do so at God’s appointed time.
Ivorian mid-fielder Yaya Toure, was crowned winner of 2013 African Footballer of the Year at the award ceremony held on Thursday, January 9, 2014 in Lagos.
