Politics they say is dirty, but it is not so when played by people with  honest and caring heart; that is the story of Hon. Danlami Mohammed  Kurfi. He is a name that rings a loud resounding bell in the high  society, an individual with a rising profile and cerebral exploits that  command respect on the floor of the House of Representatives, Abuja,  where he holds sway as one of the most vocal representatives.
With a boyish handsome look that speaks volume of a background steeped  in moderate upbringing, Hon. Danlami Mohammed Kurfi is as endearing to  his constituents as his debates, motions and bills are convincing to his  colleagues at the hallowed chamber. He is known for quality  representation.
Undoubtedly, Kurfi’s persona is derived from the sterner stuff of  life, the compulsive need to weave enduring strands or legacies that  would out-live one and the desire to be a change agent in the discharge  of the social contract. A man of great patience and tolerance, his  scruples border on the fundamental assumption that life is a selfless  service in which there is more to gain in giving of one’s time, energy  and resources than in being a docile recipient of its offerings.
Hon. Mohammed Kurfi Danlami was born in 1974; he passed through the  following educational Institutions: Hanat College (2004); Kaduna  Polytechnic (2009); as well as the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University,  Zaria. Before he delved into active politics and becoming a lawmaker,  he was successfully engaged in oil and gas business and famous as an  employer of labour with class at a very young age.     He was formerly Chief Whip of Katsina State House of Assembly and in  2015; he was elected into the Federal House of Representatives, where he  represents Dutsin-ma/Kurfi Federal Constituency of Katsina State on the  platform of All Progressives Congress (APC).
At the Federal House, he is the Deputy Chairman House Committee on  Petroleum Resources (Downstream) and member of other key committees. He  is one individual who doesn’t let down his friends no matter what;  this was what informed his significant contributions to the success of  Hon. Yakubu Dogara of becoming the Speaker of House of Representatives  in the 8th Assembly.
He has strong passion for the propagation of true Islamic values and  beliefs, this he genuinely demonstrated by building a mosque for his  community worth millions of naira. Since his inception into politics  right from the State Assembly and at the National Assembly as a serving  parliamentarian, records show that he is known for empowering his  constituents socio-economically and ensuring that beneficiaries are  dispassionately drawn from all Wards and Units in his constituency  without bias.
To his credit, beneficiaries are periodically getting items like luxury  buses, functional cars, Grinding Machines, Generating Sets, Vulcanizing  Machines, Sewing Machines, Hair Dryers and Clippers, Farm Sprayers, Deep  Freezers, Bicycles, Motorcycles and Tricycles, Transformers to aid rural  electrification, healthcare equipment at Comprehensive Health Clinic at  Kurfi, etc.
He also assisted many communities in refurbishing their dilapidated  school structures and providing basic learning materials. Hon. Kurfi  also does not ignore the widows, disabled, unemployed, orphans, and  other vulnerable groups, he consistently assist them with cash gifts so  that they can start small scale business and become economically  independent and productive to the society. His penchant for giving to  the needy in the society is phenomenal and incomparable.
Besides, the federal lawmaker paid for WAEC/NECO fees for brilliant but  indigent students. He organized free summer class lessons and computer  training for students. Over 20,000 free exercise books were equally  distributed to school children and he as well donated thousands of free  WAEC and JAMB past questions for students preparing for JAMB and  ordinary level exams. He also uses his position as federal  parliamentarian to reduce issues of unemployment amongst his  constituents by facilitating job opportunities in both state and federal  agencies.
More importantly, Hon kurfi doesn’t treat with levity matters relating  to child’s education, he is one man who will deem it fit all quotas  for his constituents into various higher institutions are accordingly  utilized. His well intentioned virtue is to build human capital and  capacity as well as reducing poverty and defiant behaviours among the  youths who are believed to be future leaders.
While expanding his kindness and sheer benevolence, Hon. Kurfi procured  special bicycles and tricycles for the disabled so as to conveniently  keep them mobile, since they can’t use the regular ones due to their  physical state. He said his people has not seen anything yet, assuring  them that he is unrepentant in serving their interest, even as he  dedicates all his indelible milestones and achievements to God almighty  who he said made it possible for him. Unlike others, Hon Kurfi creates  open access between him and his constituents which gave him opportunity  to know their needs and how to be of help.
He is one of those great and patriotic Nigerians supporting President  Muhammadu Buhari-led administration especially for its avowed fight  against corruption, which has been eating deep into the fabric of our  dear country. For him, Nigerians could only achieve development if they  supported President Buhari’s anti-corruption war, and that for Nigeria  to achieve speedy development, people must do away with sentiments,  corruption, injustice, and abuse of office, among others.
