Super Eagles’ Ahmed Musa’s mother, Sarah Moses has stated
that she single-handedly nurtured Ahmed and her other four daughters when her
husband passed on 20 years ago.
Sixty-year-old Musa’s
mum who graced the unveiling of the N500 million sports fitness centre in the
ancient city of Kano built by her son
during an exclusive interview with Sporting Life, described Musa as a
philanthropist who has touched so many lives with his wealth, particularly, the
widows and orphans, adding that, “he has been the bread winner of the family
and even our extended family members. He is taking good care of all of us.”
According to her, contrary to insinuations that Ahmed Musa
hailed from Jos, Plateau state, the mum said, “he is actually from Maiduguri in
Borno state. I am the second wife to the late father who died when Musa was
seven years old.
“I am a Christian from Edo state and the father Musa was a
Muslim—this is why I am bearing Moses. The father was a kind and caring man; a
very generous man who took care of all his wives before he died. I am happy
today to see my last born being celebrated by the small and mighty. So, I thank
God for him and I am fulfilled.”
In the same vein,
Kano state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje hailed Musa for giving
back to the society, what he has benefitted, particularly from Kano Pillars.
Ganduje who was represented at the occasion by the chairman,
Kano state Sports Commission, Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima added that, “I was so
excited and elated over this wonderful edifice built by Musa for the
development of sports in Kano and Nigeria.
“Ahmed Musa has to be celebrated. He has made us to
understand that our players need to make investment that will touch the lives
of others. This place is an ideal place for aging people and even the younger
ones to keep themselves fit.
“We thank Ahmed Musa and we hope that this kind of structure
will not only be in Kano alone. We urge him and other Nigerian players to do
more of this kind of investment for Kano, the North and Nigeria.”
