Former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has praised the decision of Nigeria’s Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa on his return to Nigeria Professional Football League side, Kano Pillars and he believes it would help improve the domestic league.
The 28-year-old teamed up with his former club Kano Pillars on Tuesday after reaching an agreement with the side, which includes a clause that allows him to leave when he finds a club in Europe.
“Ahmed Musa’s return to Kano Pillars is one of the best strategies to improve and attract interest in our local football teams and national league,” Sani tweeted.
“After global come local. It’s better than hanging and idling in Europe. There will always be a place for you at home.”
During his time away from Nigeria, Musa won three Russian Premier League titles, Russian Cup and Russian Super Cup.
The winger also clinched the Saudi Professional League trophy and Saudi Super Cup diadem among other individual accolades.
The former Leicester City palyer has been without a club since leaving Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr in October and in January he was close to joining Premier League club West Bromwich Albion but a deal failed to materialize.
The attacker recently helped the Super Eagles qualify for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled for Cameroon.
Musa is Nigeria’s third most capped player with 96 appearances for the West African side, behind Vincent Enyeama [101] and Joseph Yobo [100].
