Legendary Hameed Adio has enjoined players of Kwara United to go out on Thursday afternoon and beat visiting Kano Pillars in their NPFL match-day 7 clash in Ilorin as a birthday gift for him.
Sports fraternities in Nigeria and many parts of the world have been sending their wishes to the legendary broadcaster and former Olympian who turns 67 today.
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari kick started the congratulatory messages on Wednesday night by describing Hammed Adio as a real legend and blessing to the country.
Kwarans have also been celebrating the great man of honour with encomiums pouring in for the former General Manager of the NTA.
Hameed Adio while reacting in joyous momentum thanked President Buhari for his message and also appreciated all Kwarans for celebrating him.
He then urged players of Kwara United to make sure they get a perfect win against Kano Pillars today in an encounter the legend will watch at the Kwara state stadium.
Responding, Kwara United gaffer Abdullahi Biffo stated clearly that his wards will definitely give Hameed Adio a birthday gift by beating Kano Pillars.
Biffo described Hameed Adio as a respected pedagogue who should get a statue of honour in Kwara State.
