She is a familiar name in political circles in Kano and Katsina states where her father, Alhaji Musa Musawa, bestrode like a political colossus.
Precisely on October 20, 2020, the Senate in plenary declined to approve her appointment following a report by one of its committees about her NYSC status.
Musawa’s CV does not show she did the mandatory NYSC after she left school in the United Kingdom (UK).

At the 'screening', the lawmakers asked her to 'take a bow and go'.
