Ibrahim Musa (died 7 August 2025) was a Nigerian lawyer who was elected Senator for the Niger North constituency of Niger State, Nigeria in the April 2011 national elections.

Background

Musa practised as a lawyer for 17 years. While practising, he was a member of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP). When the CPC emerged, Musa chose to contest the Niger north senate seat on that platform.[1]

Musa died following a brief illness in Abuja on 7 August 2025.[2]

Senatorial career

Running on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Musa polled 131,872 votes; incumbent Nuhu Aliyu of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) received 83,778 votes.[3]

After the election Nuhu Aliyu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Security, filed a petition with the Niger state election petition tribunal against Ibrahim Musa.[4]

Musa was arrested in July 2011 for presenting fake documents to the Election Petitions Tribunal in Minna, spending four days in police detention.[1][5] In September 2011, after his release, Musa said his time incarcerated made him stronger.[6]

Musa expressed his desire to unseat the PDP in 2015, saying he supported alliances with this goal.[1]
