“I want to commend the management of Kano Pillars and the entire football family in Kano for their show of love and passion by coming out in their larger numbers to support the darling team of the state( Pillars) . The organisation of the game was awesome and we thank God for everything” Inuwa said.

Adding further that  “I want other state football associations to work in solid partnership with premier team in their association and mobilise fans to  come and cheer the team whenever there is a league match in the state. Football game without large numbers of fans makes the game to be dull and without excitements.”

“The league is improving. The referees are trying, although there is  still need for them to improve more in their officiating, but I am really happy that the fans in Kano state are making the beautiful game a beauty to behold with their total support for Kano Pillars, ” he concluded.
