     $data['session'] = $this->session->all_userdata();
     $this->load->view('admin/header',$data);?>
   <div id="content">
    
    <?php 
   

    $this->load->view('admin/'.$page);?>
   </div>
   <div id="footer">
    <?php $this->load->view('admin/footer');?>
   </div>
  </div>

and the show_admin (view file) like below

<div id="isi_content">
     <span><a href="c_add_admin"><img src="<?php echo base_url();?>assets/admin/images/add.png">Tambah</a></span>
     <table class="table table-hover table-bordered">
      <tr>
       <th>No</th>
       <th>Nama</th>
       <th>Username</th>
       <th>Login Terakhir</th>
       <th>Aksi</th>
      </tr>
      <?php
      $no=1;
      
      foreach($data_admin as $admin){
       $id = $admin['id_admin'];
       $url = site_url('admin/C_Admin/c_delete_admin');
       echo 
       '<tr>
        <td>'.$no.'</td>
        <td>'.$admin['nama_admin'].'</td>
        <td>'.$admin['username'].'</td>
        <td>'.$admin['tgl_last_visit'].'</td>
        <td class=aksi><a href='.site_url('admin/C_Admin/c_edit_admin/'.$admin['id_admin'].'').'><img src='.base_url().'assets/admin/images/edit.png></a>
         <a href=# onclick="return delete_data('.$id.',\''.$url.'\')"> <img src='.base_url().'assets/admin/images/delete.png></a></td>
       
       </tr>';
       $no++;
      }
      
      
      ?>
     </table>
    </div>

No, you should not use that session variable nor load any views on another view. This all should be done in the Controller. What you can do is break your code in pieces, like the header in its one view file and the footer in another view file, then you can load them in your controller like so:

public function show_admin()
{
    $data['data_admin'] = $this->M_Admin->get_admin();
    $data['page'] = 'show_admin';
    $head_data['session'] = $this->session->all_userdata();
    $this->load->view('header', $head_data);
    $this->load->view('admin/template',$data);
    $this->load->view('footer');
}

There is nothing wrong with loading views within another view. — AdrienXL, Feb 19 '15 at 15:26
