In a strong show of unity and political solidarity, Special Senior Assistants (SSAs) from Kabba-Bunu and Ijumu Local Government Areas—two key councils that make up the Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency of Kogi State—have merged into a formidable front to support the second term bid of Salman Idris, popularly known as TiwanTiwa.
The coalition, led by its chairman, Hon. Chief Shuaib Ipinmisho, made the declaration during a strategic meeting of stakeholders, where members reaffirmed their collective commitment to ensuring the re-election of the lawmaker representing the constituency in the House of Representatives.
Speaking on behalf of the SSAs, Hon. Ipinmisho emphasized that the political collaboration between the people of Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area and Ijumu Local Government Area has long been rooted in mutual respect, unity, and shared political aspirations.

According to him, the enduring spirit of brotherhood between the two local governments has continued to strengthen their political relevance within Kogi State and has often been admired—and envied—by other constituencies across the state.
“The relationship between Kabba-Bunu and Ijumu has always been one of brotherhood, especially in politics. Our unity has remained a shining example, and it is this same spirit that has brought us together again to support our son, Hon. Arch Salman Idris,” Ipinmisho stated.
He noted that the decision by the SSAs to merge their structures was deliberate and strategic, aimed at consolidating grassroots mobilization and ensuring overwhelming support for the lawmaker’s second term ambition.
