Muhammed Dan Abba Shehu (born 4 December 1964) is a Nigerian politician and a member of the 10th Federal House of Representatives representing the Zaki constituency under the platform of People's Democratic Party (PDP).[1]

In 2024, Shehu sponsored a motion advocating for free medical treatment for pregnant women at public health institutions during and after childbirth. He referenced a United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) report, emphasising Nigeria's high infant mortality rate and the critical need to improve healthcare delivery systems, particularly for pregnant women, "to alleviate their hardships and boost their confidence".[2][3][4]
