In the ever changing landscape of Okun politics, few leaders have made as profound and rapid an impact as Hon. Salman Idris, Member of the House of Representatives for Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency. His emergence in 2023 disrupted long standing political dominance, earning him the title of a “political tsunami” among admirers and political observers.
From the moment he assumed office, Hon. Idris has demonstrated that leadership is not about occupying a position, but about using it as a platform for tangible transformation.
His record speaks volumes. In less than two years, he has initiated and completed life changing projects: construction of roads, provision of solar-powered water facilities, installation of transformers, and distribution of empowerment tools worth hundreds of millions of naira.
These interventions have directly improved access to basic amenities, strengthened local economies, and given many constituents the tools to earn a living. Beyond infrastructure, his open-door policy and stakeholder meetings have fostered a sense of inclusion rarely seen in constituency representation.
Hon. Idris’ decision to align with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2024, after wide consultations, was not a mere political move it was a strategic step to secure better access to resources and opportunities for his people.
This blend of grassroots connection and strategic positioning has made him both a man of the people and a force in the political arena.
As 2027 approaches, the call for continuity grows louder. Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency stands at a critical point where sustained progress depends on consistent, visionary leadership.
To interrupt this momentum would risk undoing the gains achieved so far. In Salman Idris, the constituency has found a leader whose results match his promises, and whose vision extends beyond the next election cycle.
Continuity in 2027 is not merely about keeping a man in office it is about safeguarding the trajectory of growth, empowerment, and unity that he has set in motion.
If the measure of a leader is the lives he touches and the legacies he builds, then Hon. Salman Idris has already secured his place in the political history of Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu.
