Background

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.

In a February 2009 interview, he expressed support for creation of new states in Nigeria and criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). 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. 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.

In his first two years in the Senate, he failed to initiate any bills.
