Isaac Mohammed Alfa// ⓘ (born 15 September 1950 in Inye,Kogi State,Nigeria) is a retiredNigerian Air ForceAir Marshal, formerChief of Air Staff,[1] and Senator from Kogi State.[2]
In 2003 he contested the governorship ofKogi State. In July 2016, he was elected to theSenate of Nigeria, for theNigerian National Assembly delegation from Kogi.[3]However on 10 January 2017 anAppeal court sitting inAbuja,Nigeria wrongly asked Alfa to vacate his seat for Atai Aidoko Ali as a senator representing Kogi East Senatorial. However, after a successful court case Isaac Alfa returned to the senatorial role after Aidoko was denied by the supreme court.[4][5]
With only four months left to the end of the tenure, Alfa's achievements should not have gone unnoticed. Alfa shed light on the capabilities of Kogi as an oil-producing state, fertile for maritime activity. Alfa's military background presented the opportunity to convene a committee introspective of security bills. However, due to the ulterior motives of the senate house, national security was less than a concern.[citation needed]
