The member representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has declared that he has no intention of contesting any political office in the 2027 general election.
In a statement released on Sunday, Jibrin dismissed speculation about a possible run for either the Kano South Senatorial seat or the Kano governorship. “I am compelled for the umpteenth time to state clearly, for clarification’s sake, that I am neither interested in contesting for the Kano South Senatorial seat nor in the Kano governorship position in 2027,” he stated.
Jibrin, who is currently serving his fourth term in the National Assembly, said he considers the recurring speculation a compliment and an indication of the impact he has made in politics.
Reflecting on his political journey, Jibrin noted that he has served as chairman of several House committees, including Finance, Appropriations, Transportation, Foreign Affairs, and currently Housing and Habitat. He also highlighted his tenure as Executive Director at the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) as part of a fulfilling career.
“Those who know me well know that wherever I find myself… and whatever assignment I am entrusted with, I am unwavering in my commitment to deliver results,” he said.
Jibrin added that his political ambition now lies in supporting others to achieve leadership roles, while he continues to serve his constituents and the country with dedication.
