Ikhana echoes Kano Pillars title push

By Taofeek Babalola

Kano Pillars technical adviser Kadiri Ikhana has reiterated Sai masu Gida’s title ambition following a 1-1 draw with Remo Stars in a week 11 of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) encounter at the Shagamu Stadium in Ogun State on Wednesday.

Victor Mbaoma opened scoring for Remo Stars in the 36 minutes before Rabiu Ali equalised for the visitors with a powerful strike in the 86 minutes to earn a vital away draw for the Pyramid City outfit.

Ikhana believes that with the calibre of players in the team and support of Kano State Government his target to win the league this season would be achieved.

“Getting a point against Rivers United in Port Harcourt and here in Shagamu against Remo Stars indicates that my boys now understand themselves better and gradually they are now becoming a team everybody is proud of. We will continue to work harder and push for the title,” Ikhana said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

The Chairman Kano Sports Commission who accompanied the team to Shagamu commended Sai Masu Gida for getting the vital point, charging them to be focused in the challenges ahead of them.

He assured that Kano State Government will not relent in its efforts in giving priority to their welfare.

Pillars will host Wikki Tourists on Sunday at the Sani Abacha Stadium in a rescheduled week 8 match.
