The rumour of his political adventure has been spreading like a wildfire. Speculations about Sheriff's quest to represent Asa West in the House of Representatives come 2015 were further confirmed when he recently visited the constituency and donated money and materials to the people. He is said to have surprised his friends with the seriousness he has been pursuing his ambition. Sheriff has been moving around the homes of top political bigwigs to seek endorsement for his ambition.

But with the reported interest of the incumbent, Hon. Moshood Mustapha, to seek a second term and the Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, Rasak Atunwa, also believed to be eyeing the seat, observers are of the opinion that Shagaya has a mountain to climb to realise his ambition.
