Veteran Nigerian politician Ibrahim Shekarau has declared his unwavering commitment to remain active in the political arena for the rest of his life. The former two-term governor of Kano State and ex-Minister of Education made this vow during a recent public address, expressing his passion for serving the Nigerian people through political engagement.
Shekarau, known for his long-standing influence in Kano and Nigerian politics, reflected on his political journey that began in the early 2000s when he was first elected governor. Over the years, he has held various significant positions, including running for president in 2011, serving as the Minister of Education, and his recent role as senator representing Kano Central.
Despite some setbacks and multiple party defections—from ANPP to PDP, then to APC, and the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP)—Shekarau affirmed that such shifts have not diminished his determination. Instead, they highlight his resilience and adaptability in Nigeria’s dynamic political landscape.
He emphasized that politics for him is a lifelong mission to contribute meaningfully to governance, policy reform, and the welfare of Nigerians. Shekarau’s enduring presence in politics continues to inspire many aspiring politicians, reminding the nation of the importance of experience and commitment.
