Mohammed A Muhammed (born 27 December 1939) is a Nigerian politician, now a member of the Senate for Bauchi State.[1] Married to Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa, President of the court of Appeal, Abuja.[2]
Background[edit]
Mohammed A Muhammed was born on 27 December 1939. He obtained a Diploma in Accountancy in 1964, and qualified as a Certified Accountant U.K in 1967. He was Chief Accountant at Northern State Marketing Board 1970–1976, and assistant general manager and Executive Director Union Bank Plc 1980–1990.[1]
Senator[edit]
In April 2007, he ran for the Senate as a member of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and was elected for the Bauchi Central constituency. He was appointed to committees on Integration and Cooperation, Finance (vice-chairman), Ethics & Petition, Banking, Insurance & Other Financial Institutions.[1]
In January 2008, he was a member of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges that was charged with investigating Senator Nuhu Aliyu's allegations about fraudsters in the National Assembly.[3]
In a February 2009 interview, he expressed support for creation of new states in Nigeria and criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).[4] He was among a group of senators who reportedly travelled to Ghana in May 2009 to attend a meeting with some oil companies, which resulted in a senate investigation.[5][6] He supported a bill proposed by President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua seeking to give more powers to the Nigeria Police during elections, which was rejected by the Senate.[7]
In his first two years in the Senate, he failed to initiate any bills.[8]
