EXCLUSIVE: Ogunmodede Set To Dump Pillars Over Financial Woes, Poor Welfare Kano Pillars could be heading for a major setback as Technical Adviser Daniel Ogunmodede is reportedly considering his departure from the club over financial challenges and poor welfare conditions. According to my reliable source, the former NPFL title-winning coach with Remo Stars is on the verge of walking away from Sai Masu Gida following growing concerns over the club’s financial situation and the welfare of players and officials. Since taking charge, Ogunmodede, popularly known as Ijaball, has worked wonders with the Kano-based side. He inherited a team struggling to escape the relegation battle and has transformed them into genuine title contenders, guiding them to second place on the NPFL table. It is a remarkable turnaround and arguably Kano Pillars’ best league position in recent years. His tactical approach, discipline and winning mentality have brought a new sense of belief to the team. However, behind the impressive results, serious concerns are reportedly growing. The source revealed that the club’s team bus broke down while travelling back from their away draw against Kun Khalifat FC, forcing the team to arrange a smaller bus to continue their journey to Enugu, where they are currently stranded. The source also disclosed that the official team bus had previously broken down on their return journey from Owerri, leaving the players and officials on the road for three days before they eventually arrived at their base in Kano. These repeated travel difficulties are said to have taken a toll on the players, both physically and mentally. And that such conditions are affecting his players’ performance, fitness and psychological well-being, making it increasingly difficult to maintain the standards expected of a club of Kano Pillars’ stature. But the situation behind the scenes is dire. The source also disclosed that the Kano State Government has not released any funds to the team. Should he eventually walk away, it would be a massive blow to the club, especially at a time when they are enjoying one of their strongest campaigns in recent years. For a team that has worked so hard to rise from the relegation zone to second place, losing the man behind that transformation could prove costly.
