Kano State Government had last Sunday night settled the melancholy power rift that persisted within the newly reconstituted Kano Pillars FC management committee led by Muhammad Babangida Little.

The Kano State Commissioner of Rural Development who is the acting Commissioner of Sports, Alhaji Hamza Safiyanu Kachako  was said to have convened another meeting in the government house last Sunday after Kano Pillars FC Vs Rivers United league match with all those that matters in attendance on the orders of the governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

My investigations revealed that the governor ordered for the meeting following the receipt of a copy of a letter of complaint written by the board secretary, Comrade Sani Ibrahim following the unfortunate way the chairman of the club is handling the club.

Comrade Sani Ibrahim told the government openly how the chairman is single-handedly managing the affairs of the club without the knowledge and inputs of the committee members he was nominated together with.

The content of the letter was said to have  irked and embrassed the government which made the state number one citizen to ordered for the meeting.

Having brought the committee together, the governor told the chairman not to see himself as a sole administrator but as a chairman in council who must go along with all the members they were appointed together with.

The chairman was openly and clearly told to follow due process on everything or every action he takes and must be with full knowledge, consent and approval of the committee members.

What remains now is to see if the chairman will act and adhere to the government directives by handing over the club’s secretariat to the government appointed board secretary and working with his committee memberes.

He is also expected to relocate the club’s secretariat back to Sani Abacha Stadium from Sports Commission where he was operating together with the commission’s appointed secretary .

I was at the production unit of the Triumph Publishing Company, Kano but my keen interest in sports journalism made me to be sports writer and maintained a sports column called (Sports Eye) after my mentor Sani Muhammad Zaria transferred his service to New Nigeria newspapers in Kaduna. And when the government closed the Triumph in 2012, I was transfered to lectured DTP in the Department of Printing Technology of Kano State Polytechnic. And now that I retired, i used to visit the institution weekends for part-time lecturing.
