“My duty is to move Kano Pillars forward and to reclaim its glory.”
Ikhana called for the support and prayers of the people of the state to achieve his goal.
NAN reports that the state governor dissolved the management of the club last month due to poor performance and internal squabbles.
Kano Pillars finished seventh last season, which led the Head Coach, Babaganaru Muhammad, to resign after the last match of the season.
