Ahmed Musa shuns Kano Pillars away games due to bad roads

Ahmed Musa, the new signee of Kano Pillars is set to miss over 80% of the club’s away matches as the second stanza of the Nigeria Professional Football League begins on the 28th of April.

Musa’s signing excited Nigerians most especially lovers of the country’s domestic league.

However, it was reported that the former Leicester’s captain has told his new club’s management that he will not be available for away matches.

The statement was confirmed by the Chairman of club, Surajo Yahaya who said although the player would be available for the club’s home games, he will not be available for most of the away games.

According to him, “Ahmed Musa is a big player and at the moment we know the economic situation of the country and the bad roads in some regions. He is going to honour all our home matches and if there is an available flight in the state we have an away game, then he is going to attend”.

“He did not say that he’s totally going to be unavailable for our games on the road, but he is going to attend those matches by flight, but for the games that are close by, like a game at Katsina or Bauchi, he is ready to go. But we need to provide good facilities for him,” Yahaya added.

Musa is expected to make his debut for Pillars on May 5, when the Sai Masu Gida welcomes Enyimba.

He’ll miss the team’s next two games against Warri Wolves and Plateau United.
