Isaac Mohammed Alfa Template:IPAc-en (born 15 September 1950 in Inye, Kogi State, Nigeria) is a retired Nigerian Air Force Air Marshal, former Chief of Air Staff,[1] and Senator from Kogi State.[2]

In 2003 he contested the governorship of Kogi State. In July 2016, he was elected to the Senate of Nigeria, for the Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Kogi.[3] However on 10 January 2017 an Appeal court sitting in Abuja, 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.Template:Fact
