As the Ramadan Fasting is fast approaching, the Ali Nayara Mai Samba led management of the Kano Pillars Football has been told to recruit more players especially from the other faith in order to beef-up the team.

Dr Nura Garba Sabon Sara gave the advise yesterday’s evening in a popular  Wasilu Kawo’s Nasara Radio sports programme “Taskar  Wasanni”.

As indicated by him, the action is to empower the team to take off from rehashing the appalling last season’s occurrences where the vast majority of their players were fasting which made other teams to exploit that and overide them which made the team to endured vigorously.

Dr. Sabon Sara was of the opinion that Kano Pillars management needs to bring more players especially from other faiths before or during the second round.

“Mai Samba and his team must start doing something now before the end of the first round so that they can pencil down those they can bring in to help the team sustain the tempo,” Dr. Nura Sabon Sara     explained.

Sabon Sara further stated that unless they want to witness last season’s bad omen where teams easily  picked draw or even win here in Kano, Kano Pillars must strategize and mix their team with players from other faiths now before the Ramadan fasting.

On the performance of the team so far, Dr. Sabon Sara commended the attacking machine of the team but said that a lot needs to be done on the defense because the team is conceding a lot of goals.

He then called on the northern media to constantly promote Ahmad Musa so that he can be reconsidered on the Nationaal team because he can still contribute.
