In a statement signed by the media officer of the club, Rilwanu Idris Malikawa and made available to www.kano-pillars.com said the Chairman expressed his gratitude to the supporters for not even being in the premises of the stadium before, during and after the match.
He said what the fans have shown is an indication of their concern to the progress of the club and assured that his management would continue working closely with them to move the club to the next level.
