The Belgore family needs little introduction in the legal arena, it was reported that colonial master appointed a great jurist Alkali Yusuf Belgore adviser on Shariah law in 1960, He has produced more than 50 legal practitioners of reputes in Nigeria. Belgore families have produced the Former Chief Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Justice Babatunde Belgore who was the fourth and the longest serving Chief Justice of Nigeria of the Federal High Court-(1988-2001).

Mr. Belgore Ahmad Kawu, the Justice Must Prevail Party, JMPP’s candidate for the governorship elections in Kwara State. In this 1

interaction with Dal International News, London, he speaks on the essence of governance, his programme of action for the people of Kwara State.

Ahmad Belgore Why really do you want to become governor?

I want to become the next governor of Kwara state to be the proper representation of the next generation. The youth hold the faith of the state in their hand, we are too young to submit our future to people that doesn’t have plan of the next 10 years even next 1 year plan for us. So I am coming to change the status quo.

We cannot merely exist on this land, so we need to bring truer government to our people. As stated by John Keynes a well-known economic philosopher “on the long run we are all dead hence the future is now “ What is your programme if elected governor?

My people are not asking for much from the government, all they want is the basic amenities that a reasonable government should provide.

I have 10 working agenda for the reset of Kwara State such as: 1-Human Capital development 2-Education reform 3-Agriculture 4-Job creation 5-Infrastructure 6-Security 7-Science technology and innovation 8-Housing 9-Proper package for the aged and physical challenged citizens 10- Agriculture.

Belgore is a man of many parts with vast experience in Computer Science, business and public administrations, Job creation will be upper most on his mind. ’’I will pay critical attention to the establishment of light manufacturing industries such as leather goods, building materials production, vocational Centre. My goal is to make Kwara to be known as the state of employment. My mission is to enable a good working environment where small entrepreneurs can thrive Do you really think you can defeat Atunwa of PDP and Abdurrahman of APC as your party is not as popular as their parties?

This is exactly what political elite’s want people to believe and sadly even the educated youths are falling victims to this trap, Remember all parties have the same instrument like INEC certificate. It is when electorates vote a party that power gets to them 3
