Kano Pillars aka "Masu Gida" are Nigeria Premier League 2012/2013 Season Champs!!!

When Kano Pillars won away from home in the very first week of the Nigeria Premier League away at Bauchi against Wikki Tourist many felt it's still early but when Kano Pillars won again away at ilorin against ABS FC it was obvious the Kano base team are serious and focused to retain the league trophy.

Today, 21st of October 2013, Kano Pillars have succeeded in defending the trophy they won last season. Though they lost by two goals to nil at the Emmanuel Atongo stadium the adopted home ground of Lobi Stars but their closest rivals Bayelsa United and El-Kanemi Warriors also lost making Kano Pillars a worthy champion.

Before the week 38 league games, 10 clubs were not sure if they will still remain in the apex league in Nigeria but the time all the matches were concluded 3SC of Ibadan, ABS, Kwara United both from Ilorin and Wikki Tourist of Bauchi could not make it, they drowned in the relegation water.

To Kano Pillars and their fans, celebrate but remember there is a bigger challenge in the CAF champions league.

Enyimba secured a CAF Champions League ticket after a one goal win against Sharks of Porthacourt. That means both Kano Pillars and Enyimba FC will fly Nigeria flag in the CAF Champions League next season .
