Kano guber tribunal: Verdict will favour Liverpool, not Chelsea – Sani

In a Twitter (now known as X) post on Tuesday, September 19, Sani, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), predicted thus:

“Kano’s tomorrow’s match verdict will favour Liverpool and not Chelsea.”

The senator appears to be making reference to two football clubs in the English Premier League, Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC.
