Before entering politics, Musa was Director of Customs.[2]

Musa was accused of tampering with ballot boxes in the December 1991 elections, but when they took place he was in fact abroad undergoing medical treatment.[3] In July 1993 he enacted the edict to form the Kebbi State College of Education, now the Adamu Augie College of Education.[4]
