Super Eagles skipper and newly appointed General Manager of Kano Pillars Football Club, Ahmed Musa, has firmly denied widespread reports alleging he gifted luxury cars to players and club officials following his recent elevation.
In a strongly worded statement released on Tuesday via his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, Musa dismissed the claims as baseless fabrications aimed at misleading the public and stirring unnecessary controversy.
> “It has come to my attention that false information is being circulated, suggesting I distributed cars to players and officials following my appointment as General Manager of Kano Pillars Football Club. This is entirely untrue,” the football icon stated.
Musa urged both the public and media outlets to exercise discretion and responsibility by verifying stories through credible sources before dissemination.
> “Spreading unverified news not only misleads the public but also undermines the integrity of the club and its leadership,” he added.
The 31-year-old star, widely respected for his contributions on and off the pitch, emphasized that his mission in his new role is not about showmanship but substance.
> “My focus remains on building a strong, disciplined, and successful Kano Pillars team. I sincerely appreciate the unwavering support and understanding of our fans as we embark on this journey together,” he said.
Earlier, social media had been awash with unconfirmed reports suggesting Musa had gifted new Toyota Land Cruisers to every player and staff member as a grand gesture upon taking office — a claim that has now been thoroughly debunked.
Ahmed Musa’s appointment as General Manager was officially confirmed by the Kano State Government last Saturday, and he resumed duties this week. The Super Eagles forward previously featured as a player for Kano Pillars in the 2022/2023 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season, further strengthening his emotional ties with the club.
As the dust settles, Musa’s swift response to the rumor underscores his commitment to transparency, professionalism, and football excellence — values he is expected to bring into his leadership at one of Nigeria’s most storied football clubs.
