An indigene of Lokoja Koto federal constituency who hails from Lokoja || constituency of the Oworo Ward, Hon Idris Ndako ,a serving lawmaker representing the good people of Lokoja || constituency at the kogi state House of Assembly. After much persuasions from notable men and women of the federal constituency, he was obliged to a beckon to contest the House of Rep seat of the federal constituency .
Of recent while in a visit to the resident of Hon Ndako by some groups that made up the constituency, the lawmaker declared and make his intention known to them. Intimating them of his readiness to join the race with those seeking the House of Rep seat, the entire people of Lokoja-Koto seems to have a central message that their call to have Hon Idris Ndako to chart and to be a new voice for the federal constituency which is a clarion call of both the young and old of the zone
Extolling Ndako to be a freedom fighter, a great Man who answer the name of a Leader in all ramifications, an eagle who see farther to conceive a vision of a better Lokoja-Koto and indeed Nigeria, a dogged Man who is ready to fight and defend them at all cost, having great prowess to be the masses messenger.

More so, It was another grand reception accorded to Ndako by another group of people and some Party officials of All progressives Congress (APC), an umbrella party he is going to use as his platform of campaign. The mammoth crowd whom he welcome at his Felele resident in a honourable way right from the entrance of his house filled up with people shouting”sai Ndako, we must change again, this time around, the man of the Masses is around”
