TNM Super League leading scorer, Babatunde Adepoju, has been voted TNM Super League supporters\u2019 Player-of-the-Month for June.<\/p>\n

The in-form Be Forward Wanderers striker has won fans\u2019 hearts as the most outstanding player with 10 goals after joining from Masters Security.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian becomes the first to win the newly introduced accolade.<\/p>\n

Babatunde emerged winner through a voting process in TNM\u2019s Pokopoko ndi Zampira promotions, having amassed 1,062 votes to beat four other contestants to the monthly prize.<\/p>\n

He received K100,000 from the elite league\u2019s sponsor, TNM.<\/p>\n

Nyasa Big Bullets\u2019 Peter Banda came second with 518 votes while Christopher Mtambo of Savenda Chitipa United was third with 201 votes.<\/p>\n

Blue Eagles Captain Micium Mhone and Misheck Selemani of Karonga United shared fourth and fifth position with 89 and 52 votes, respectively.<\/p>\n

Babatunde said he was delighted with the award and paid tribute to his teammates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is all about teamwork. My teammates helped me to score the goals and shine,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

TNM Public Relations and Sponsorship Manager, Limban Nsapato, said the award was an incentive to both fans and clubs, and promotes active engagement of soccer fans.<\/p>\n

He said TNM remained committed to creating platforms for engagement with fans, in addition to other activities such as the Predict-and-Win Promotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fans\u2019 Player-of-the- Month award underscores this commitment. Now there is something for everyone. We will continue to innovate to ensure that soccer fans, players and clubs all have a reason to smile every season,\u201d<\/em> Nsapato said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To come up with the winner, TNM, in partnership with Super League of Malawi, shortlists five outstanding players from which fans vote for their favourite by dialing *1515# and choosing \u2018Player-of-the-Month\u2019.<\/p>\n

This year, courtesy of Zampira Promotion, three lucky winners would fly to Spain in September to watch a match involving giants Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

The grand winner of the promotion would cart home K2 million, with the first and second runner-up going away with a motorbike and plasma screen, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
