Ahmed Musa has praised the fighting spirit of his Kano Pillars F.C. teammates after the club secured survival in the Nigeria Premier Football League.
The Sai Masu Gida retained their top-flight status despite suffering a 1-0 defeat to Plateau United F.C. at the New Jos Stadium on Sunday.
The former league champions ended the campaign in 15th place with 48 points from 38 matches.
Musa also expressed appreciation to football stakeholders and supporters in Kano for standing by the team throughout the season.
“Despite our slow and unfamiliar start to the campaign, our darling club, Kano Pillars FC, showed resilience, character and determination to retain its NPFL status for another season,” Musa was quoted in his appreciation message.
“This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support, prayers and encouragement from the good people of Kano and football lovers across the country.”
