Ibrahim Shekarau served as Senator for Kano Central in the 9th National Assembly (2019-2023) but was ranked among senators who sponsored no bills in his first year in office. He chaired the Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service, and delivered a documented set of constituency projects including solar boreholes and school infrastructure in Kano Municipal and Gwale LGAs. His integrity record is weighed down by multiple documented party defections across ANPP, PDP, APC, NNPP, PDP, and APC again, a pattern that has attracted sustained commentary. He faced arraignment on a 6-count charge of conspiracy and money laundering of N950m (alleged 2015 election funds) before the Federal High Court Kano; the EFCC later closed its case and Shekarau was discharged and acquitted. The ICPC separately announced an intention to probe him over an alleged N420m mismanagement matter arising from his governorship. No conviction stands on record. His Senate tenure produced constituency-level deliverables but negligible legislative output, yielding an overall weak record.
