"Alhaji Ndakene dedicated his life to the well-being of his community, the state, and the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a whole.
“We also know his impacts at the National Population Commission and his wonderful contributions to our own party, APC. Our victory in the 2019 and general elections 2023 (especially in the Kwara North) might not have been possible without his major contributions.
“His legacies live on, and the youth should also emulate the kind of life he lived and see him as a shining example to follow.”

He commended AbdulRazaq for approving the construction of an ICT centre and other developmental projects in the community.

"During the last (Local Government) election, we decided to vote for you (APC) en masse based on your performance in the last five years. Check the record. That's a show of confidence from our people here. And we thank you very much for making us proud."
