Despite a challenging season, Kano Pillars captain Ahmed Musa remains optimistic that the club will secure their place in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL). The four-time champions have struggled throughout the campaign, but Musa is unwavering in his belief that the team will avoid relegation.
The Sai Masu Gida took a significant step toward safety with a narrow 1-0 victory over Plateau United at the Sani Abacha Stadium on Sunday. Veteran midfielder Rabiu Ali converted a penalty just before halftime to secure the crucial three points.
This win propelled Kano Pillars to 10th place in the standings with 48 points from 36 matches. However, they still need a positive result in their final game against Plateau United to guarantee their top-flight status for next season.
“I’ve said this repeatedly since the start of the season: Kano Pillars will not go down,” Musa told reporters. “We will continue to fight until the very last match.”
