One of the highlights of the ceremony was Nigeria’s Ademola Lookman being named the CAF Player of the Year, a significant achievement that brought pride to the nation.
Brightmodreblog shared details of the invitation, which recognized Peller’s contributions to sports and entertainment and his influence as a notable personality in Africa. Fans have taken to social media to congratulate him and commend CAF for including diverse figures to enrich the event’s cultural and social significance.
The invitation read:
Dear Hamzat Adelaja,
