From the bubbling town of Ajaka, a child was born into the family of Alh. Hussaini Akpa, one of the most politically conscious elites of Igala extraction in the Second Republic. Stories abound about the philanthropic gestures of Alh. Hussaini. His name still rings bells in the minds of his people, many decades after he transited to join his ancestors. He actually lived a remarkable life of enduring impact. He touched many lives and strived to better the lives of his people. Alh. Hussaini Akpa is dead, but his legacy of compassion continues to linger in the lifestyles of his children. This is the bigger picture of where Idris HK tapped his gentlemanly benevolence, anchored on his passion for community development.
HK is a double-edged sword, not a weapon for war but a totem existing in human form, predisposed to the peaceful development of the Igala/Bassa nation. His antecedents speak volumes, and his life is a tirelessly refined attestation to a man who is intellectually able, gallantly willing and pragmatically ready to propel Kogi East to greater heights. His determination for the growth and development of the Igala/Bassa nation is not in doubt. HK’s political trajectory is genetic; he inherited these rare traits from his late father and tenaciously studied the political architecture of his foster father, the late Dr. Stephen Omakoji Achema.
