Joseph Yobo,35, has agreed to join Northern club, Kano Pillars after the NPFL club beat three other clubs to his signature.
Alhaji
Shehu Dikko, Chairman of the League Management Company, LMC, in an
interview with Completesportsnigeria on Tuesday revealed that Kano
Pillars is the club that appealed most to the footballer and can meet
his demands.
“Kano Pillars”, Dikko replied when
Completesportsnigeria.com asked him which club Yobo will eventually play
for in his celebrated return to the Nigerian domestic top flight.
When asked further on when Yobo will turn out for Kano Pillars, who have won four league titles, Dikko said;
“For
now, that is being worked out, but we’re looking at the next (home)
game,” Dikko said on Tuesdayduring the unveiling of the LMC partnership
deal with Star beer, as the official beer of the Nigeria Professional
Football League at Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.
Joseph Yobo is an
ambassador of the Nigerian Professional Football League and it is hoped
that his presence in the league will help increase stadium turn out and
also improve the league.
