Let the truth be told, had it been we are fortunate enough to be in any of the globally advance country where integrity, antecedents, vision and dream, agenda setting and high level of educational endowment.
If good exposure, connections with the high and mighty around the world, a Man with genuine and selfless sacrifice to humanity. If humility, decency and natural zeal to bring transformation are excellent attributes requirements to elect a leader, then without mincing words and iota of doubt that Hon Idris Ndako is the leading man today even aftermath of the primary while others follows
Of course Ndako would have been given the ticket and mandate to be the party flag bearer of Lokoja-Koto Federal constituency, without going through the hurdles and rigorous process of conducting primaries elections.
With due respect and acknowledgement of the qualities and capabilities of other candidates hustling for the golden opportunity to be on the exalted seat of Lokoja-Koto at the Green chamber of the national assembly, let face the reality and speak our minds beret of sentiment, blindfolded loyalty or selfish interest and take a critical look of the C.V of all those aspiring politicians seeking for the seat and place them on the testing machine running by the requirements and standard I mentioned above, attached on the pedestal of picking the best out of the best, then the researcher and analyst would definitely found the naked truth that Hon Idris Ndako towers above all others.
Ndako Is a man fully endowed with leadership qualities and even more. Having high sense of Integrity, a personality with a sense of value by all standard.

His wealth is clean, pure and hard-earned. A proceed of an articulated, brilliant and exceptional brain that knows how to play it’s card and press the right button. Having him as a lawmaker in the federal house of representatives would influence the economic and human capital development standard with sustainable and profitable federal government presence.
Decency and humility has been his trademark in politics. It is vividly clear and an open secret that Politics of the state is always been associated with dirty and unmerited fighting among the same party members and opposition. Treading insults, name-calling, dehumanizing, immoral wording, castigations and unfounded allegations and other dirty scumble too numerous to mention. As those supporters backed by their individual sponsors are busy fighting and bearing their face naked in this shameful act, the man Ndako has oriented and trained his supporters and media aides the act of playing politics with decency and mutual respect of others.
Hon Ndako’s media aids with an adviser like his chef of staff Yakub O. Alhassan are tutored to spread love, peace and harmony coupled with act of sticking to the rule of law, respect of the existing authority and rational not blindfolded loyalty. You would never find any of his notable supporters castigating or insulting anyone. To him, politics is an avenue of seeking people mandate and support to be in a position to better their lives. As such it never meant to be a do or die affairs if one is really sincere and driven by zeal to serve humanity unless one is mentally desperate to occupy position for self aggrandizement and nothing else.
An educated Oworo man and a graduate of political science from University of Abuja, the man popularly refers as “Cartapilar Sarkin Aiki” has deep hunger of knowledge which led him to aquire certificates in different fields and capped it with Degree. As he value education and it’s important to humanity, the man has and still spending a fortune in building classrooms, provision of instructional equipments, provision of scholarship to downtrodden, building and renovations health centers and many other supports to the educational sectors
It is on record that among all those contestants for the seat both in APC and PDP have in one time or the other held or still holding public office or works with government or it’s agency. Despites all his humanitarian gestures that spanked for almost two decade through his human empowerment acknowledged Ndako which it’s activities covers all areas of need to the downtrodden, fatherless kids and infrastructural developments to the humanity which is swallowing unprecedented astronomical amount of money running into millions in festives period. And the glaring fact worthy of mentioning is the fact that the man is just a lawmaker in a state like kogi State looking at the economic higihaga. Therefore, having him as a federal lawmaker would have simply brought sanity and peaceful yet effective administration’s headed by man that is as pure as saint without any skeleton in his cup.
Having an experience and widely travelled personality with wide range of connectivity with powerful politicians and business gurus across the state would surely comes handy in building the constituecy in every human developmental sectors that would be handle and program based on international standard that would tally with technological changes occuring in our global world. An experience lawmaker in the state with almost 8 years in the assembly, he is indeed a right choice that is abreast with reality of the happenings around the global world.
His nature is indeed a plus to his aspiration as the developmental oriented people in the assembly are now entrusting their future and collective destiny in the hands of capable and highly talented people like Ndako to take them to the promised land. In Ndako, we are immensely blessed to have a personality who has attain the level of rubbing shoulders with high and mighty. A man burning with unquenchable hunger and desire to save humanity, set a new developmental project, change our way of doing things, create a lasting legacy and prioritize transparency and accountability in handling government activities at the federal level. A rare jam that deserved the support of those yearning for a brighter future for our generation and generations yet unborn
Moreover, he proves himself to be a master tactician with extraordinary foresight that is marvel to watch. As the contestants of the seat dedicated their whole to a shameful and unmerited fights and grandstanding of showcasing their overnight COMMITMENTS to bogus empowerment, struggling to out muscle each other, the man of the moment is busy spending huge amounts of money in sponsoring large number of personals who are currently going round Lokoja-Koto constituecy , enlighten public to go out and aquire their voters card. A project that should occupy the minds of all those politicians seeking for elective posts. They tend to forget that an election should it be a mere waste of time if voters didn’t vote. And an instrument of voting is a voter’s card and ensuring people aquire it should be a major priority. And the fact that is now an online affairs, our people needs to be oriented and provide with assistance to find time for it.
We are prone to been shortchange and left out if we fail to fully mobilize our people. Even in the national politics, our strength lies in our numbers. But those numbers may turn out to be useless if our people didn’t possess voter’s card. This is what should occupy our leaders but many fail to give it maximum support and attention. But Ndako realized it’s implications by concentrating and spending huge on this area which would in the end benefit candidates seeking for any political posts
It goes without saying that the man Ndako is not just a blessings to Lokoja-Koto alone but the entire state and the parties generally. For those been enlighten and encourage to aquire the cards are not just been advice to do it but are also given a financial inducement to ease the process having been given enough to snap the required pictures, pay for the online registration and keep enough for other needs. And all these are been offers to everyone irrespective of party affiliation..
Every constituecy in the state would pray, yearn and dream of having such a rear and extraordinary personality in their domain. As such our ancient city of Lokoja is immensely blessed to have this Man, son of the soil and we should do everything possible to ensure he at end of the day, now or someday, occupy the seat for the benefit of our generations and generations yet unborn.
