The Coordinator of the Gusau/Ahlan Cup, Abahuraira
Dahiru, has hailed Ahmed Musa's return to the Nigerian Professional Football
League (NPFL), describing it as a credit to the league's growing reputation.
Musa, Nigeria's national team captain, recently signed
for Kano Pillars, sparking excitement among football fans in the country.
Dahiru, who has been instrumental in promoting
grassroots football through the Gusau/Ahlan Cup, believes Musa's return will
elevate the NPFL to greater heights.
"Ahmed Musa's decision to return to the NPFL is a
testament to the league's growth and potential," Dahiru said. "This
move is not just a boost to Kano Pillars but to Nigerian football as a
whole."
Dahiru drew parallels with Sani Kaita's similar move
in the past. "Sani Kaita, another Nigerian international, returned to the
NPFL and played for FC Ifeanyi Uba and Enyimba FC before returning to Europe.
This trend of elite players returning to the NPFL is encouraging."
He expressed his desire to see more Nigerian players
follow Musa's lead, giving back to the country by playing in the NPFL before
retiring.
"The presence of top players like Ahmed Musa will
undoubtedly attract more fans, increase sponsorship, and enhance the league's
competitiveness," Dahiru added.
As the NPFL continues to gain momentum, Dahiru's
sentiments echo the sentiments of many Nigerian football enthusiasts, who hope
to see more homegrown talent return to the league.
