The four-time champions lost 1-0 to Sunshine Stars in their opening fixture of the 2023–24 Nigeria Premier Football League season.

Maikaba said some of his players were not fit enough to play the game with five-day notice prior to the commencement of the season.

“We were taken unaware of the start of the league this time around with only four to five days notice,” he told the club’s media.
“Some of the players were not fit enough to play this type of grade ‘A’ match,” he added.

Kano Pillars will take on arch rivals, Katsina United in their second game on Sunday.

The encounter is billed for the Sani Abacha Stadium.
