'We need to pay them back '-Kano Pillars' Ifeanyi Nweke ready for grudge match against Akwa United

Kano Pillars ’ Ifeanyi Nweke has charged his teammates to brace up to the challenge at hand as they face Akwa United at the Nest of Champions Stadium, Uyo on Sunday in a top-flight fixture.

Sai Masu Gida bounced back from their 2-1 away loss to Heartland with another 2-1 home win over El Kanemi Warriors last weekend and they face one of the league contenders, Akwa United whom already held them to a 1-1 draw in Kano when the first leg was played in January this year.

But Nweke asserted that with good preparations and positive mindset it won’t be impossible for Kano Pillars to leave Uyo with at least a point that will help brighten their chances of finishing the season among the top three in Group B.
