Former Enyimba of Aba striker Emeka Obioma has been named the NPFL Player of the Season by Nigerian League Bloggers.
Obioma scooped this win at the Nigerian League Bloggers Awards held at Oriental Hotel, Lagos.
The striker scored 16 goals in the league – thereby clinching the Golden Boot award.
He has since left the Aba Millionaires.
Also, Remo Stars player Kayode has been voted as the best goalkeeper for the 2023 Nigerian Professional Football league (NPFL) Season that just ended.

In his reaction to the win, Kayode tweeted: “Only God!”
