The nominees are :
Amaechi Sunday (Wonderxchange FC)
Emmanuel Yakubu (Wonderxchange FC)
Haruna Yusuf (Wonderxchange B)
Opeyemi Ogundumila (Wonderxchange B)
Amaechi Sunday: The young forward continued to build on an impressive outing that earned him a nomination in September as he also had a good outing in games played in October as he registered an assist in the draw against Cantonment Bombers and another assist in the win against Adeleke FC.
Emmanuel Yakubu: The goalkeeper gets his first nomination for the monthly award after series of impressive performances in goal in matches played in October, despite his side not having the best of results for the month, Emmanuel had quite a number of busy days in goal with lots of saves made especially in the team’s outing against NPFL side Bendel Insurance where he made series of fantastic saves to make sure the Lions didn’t concede more than 2-goals against the much more experienced side.
Haruna Yusuf: The skipper for the B-side marked his return after a long time of absence and didn’t take too long to find his best form as he has been an ever-present figure for the B-side in the middle of the pack as his presence and performances in the midfield was applaudable.
Opeyemi Ogundumila: The attacker after having a good turn up in September continued his fine form in the month of October as he added to the 2 goals scored in September with a brilliant solo effort against Akure city and was a constant thorn in the flesh of the opposition defenders.
Through a vote, a decision will be made by the club’s management panel on who would be the winner of the October player of the month award.
