Hon. Salman Idris is arguably the very best representative from Kogi State at the moment.
From a miraculous walk to the Federal House of Representatives in 2023 in a bid to making possible his vision for a better Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency to indeed getting the job done everyday ever since, Hon. Salman Idris has indeed done greatly so much so that even people from outside of Kogi State wish to have him as their own Federal representative.
When a leader is doing well, he makes it easier for anybody who wants to sing his praises to do so without having to lie. This is simply because there is usually an abundance of facts to support the conversation that yes, the leader has done well.
A year and a half is enough time to tell who is really doing well and who is not.
One House of Representatives Member that Kogites are proud of is none other than Hon. Salman Idris.
Personally, I have known the House of Representatives Member right from year 2018. His message of “Tiwa N’Tiwa” is one that within a short while became synonymous with him because he is a practical embodiment of his message.
He is not one of those everyday politicians. He is a successful architect. In fact, he is fondly known up until his time in the House of Representatives now, as “Arch. Salman Idris”.
He has been that popular everywhere long before he decided to throw his hat into the ring to contest to represent his people, the good people of Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives.
Hon. Salman Idris has done meritoriously well since his becoming a member of the House of Representatives.
The way and manner in which he takes the grassroots seriously is a proof that he is not one of those leaders who spend all their time in Abuja and forget “home”.
Much as his office is in Abuja, he is in constant communication, even in person, with the people he represents in Abuja, being the people of Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency of Kogi State.
In the months to come, I will personally be x-raying his good works as his good works are not being publicized enough on the media space.
I believe that if somebody is doing well, it is the duty of we writers to write about it.
We are in a time where there is a high scarcity of good leaders, hence a good leader like Hon. Salman Idris is one who needs to be talked about everyday across blogs and across social media platforms and across the pages of newspapers.
In Hon. Salman Idris, the representative of Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency, I am proud to be a Kogite. He is indeed a blessing to the people of Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu, to Kogi State and to Nigeria at large.
Hon. Salman Idris has excelled in the aspect of grassroots empowerment, philanthropy, effective law-making in terms of bills and motions needed to make Nigeria a better nation.
In terms of legislative oversight functions, Hon. Salman Idris has done well.
He is the perfect definition of a square peg in a square hole. He has within the past one year and a half so far, proven that to be a good representative is not rocket science, as himself is walking the talk of good and quality representation, everyday.
