The promise
Campaigned on a platform of governing Kano State according to Islamic moral and economic principles of equity, justice and prosperity.
Assessment
Transformed the state's Hisbah organisation into a formal state agency in 2003 to enforce the Sharia moral code, a central and controversial pillar of the administration's governance model.
Partial
The promise
Promised enforcement of Islamic moral norms in public life under the state's Sharia framework.
Assessment
The Hisbah corps actively policed public conduct, including film sets, and made arrests for perceived violations of Islamic norms — for example, a 2005 raid on a film crew shooting inside an uncompleted building — drawing both support and criticism over its reach.
Kept
The promise
Implicit in seeking re-election in 2007: hold a mandate that would withstand legal challenge.
Assessment
His 2007 re-election was challenged by PDP's Ahmed Garba Bichi, but both the tribunal and the Court of Appeal dismissed the petition and upheld Shekarau's victory.
