On April 13, the Super Eagles captain
signed for Kano Pillars under the Elite Players Program of the League Management Company (LMC) a scheme established to encourage Nigerian stars to play for home-based teams.
In a chat with
ESPN, Dikko said Musa rejoined Pillars because he wants to give back to his boyhood club.
“We didn’t speak much about it. Musa is someone who is more concerned about giving back to the club that made him and he is not coming here to do this for money. He is not getting paid for playing for Pillars. That is the kind of person he is,” Dikko said.
“Truth is, a lot of people I trusted failed me in my career moving forward.
“I remembered I trusted someone back here in Nigeria after I signed for Almeria in la liga then but because of their selfish interest for me to play in Belgium, deal crashed but we moved!!
“Went to Portugal, and then I was without a top club then ended up in Israel where I became KING with the help of my brother Tony Nwakaeme on the field where we won titles together.
“I’m so proud to see him buzzing hard in Turkey and flourishing.
“Stayed out without a team for months before a friend helped me to get a deal in Saudi.
Arsenal legend Nwankwo Kanu, La Liga ambassador Mutiu Adepoju, Godfrey Oboabona, Alex Iwobi and Moses Simon are among the present and past Nigerian footballers who are having some fun and wishing families and friends a flourishing 2021.
Happy New Year and cheers in making it to 2021 and we thank God for keeping us alive after all this tough times and we pray this year is better for all of us . @kanuheartfpic.twitter.com/ZSesDfcUtK Kanu Nwankwo (@papilokanu) January 1, 2021
Wishing you a Happy New Year, bursting with fulfilling and exciting opportunities. And remember, if opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door! Mutiu Adepoju (@MutiuAdepoju8) January 1, 2021
