In a post shared on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the Sai Mai Gida outfit expressed their joy for the call-up.
“Back to heroically lead the mighty @NGSuperEagles to the promised land! Congratulations to our ever-reliable and inspirational captain, @Ahmedmusa718!,” Kano Pillars tweeted.
Musa, who rejoined Kano Pillars in October 2024 after a brief stint with Sivasspor, has been instrumental in the team’s performance this season. As of December 22, 2024, he has scored six goals and provided two assists in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
His return has boosted Kano Pillars, with the team securing crucial victories, including a notable 2-1 win over Niger Tornadoes, where Musa scored a last-minute goal.
The Super Eagles’ provisional squad selection marks Musa’s return to the national team after missing out since the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire, where Nigeria finished as runners-up.
He now aims to lead the Super Eagles in their quest to secure a spot in the upcoming World Cup, striving to avoid consecutive absences from the tournament.
