The lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, has categorically denied having any interest in contesting for either the Kano governorship or senatorial positions in the upcoming 2027 general elections.

In a statement personally signed and released to journalists on Sunday, Kofa addressed growing speculations about his political ambitions, stating: "I am compelled for the umpteenth time to state clearly for clarification sake that I am neither interested in contesting for the Kano South Senatorial seat, nor in the Kano governorship position in 2027."

The four-term federal lawmaker acknowledged that his name frequently emerges in political discussions regarding potential candidates for these positions. However, he views such mentions as complimentary rather than aspirational.

"It is not surprising that my name always comes up in discussions like these, and over the years, I have learned to take it as a compliment, and a reflection that I have made my modest contribution politically and will continue to do so in service to my constituents and country," he remarked.

Kofa, who currently chairs the House Committee on Housing and Habitat and serves as Executive Director at the Federal Housing Authority (FHA), highlighted his extensive legislative experience. Throughout his career, he has led several key committees in the National Assembly, including Finance, Appropriations, Transportation, and Foreign Affairs.

The lawmaker emphasized his commitment to delivering results in any position he holds. "Those who know me well know that wherever I find myself politically or even in my private business before running for political office and the academia or otherwise and whatever assignment I am entrusted with, I am unwavering in my commitment to deliver results. And that has always been my principle," he stated.

Describing himself as "modestly ambitious," Kofa expressed contentment with his current political and professional achievements while maintaining optimism about future opportunities.

Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, who holds a PhD and the traditional title of Jarman Bebeji, is widely recognized as an influential figure in Kano politics. His clarification comes amid intensifying speculation about potential candidates for key positions in Kano State's 2027 electoral contest.
