The Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Brig Gen Buba Marwa (rtd) says he has written a letter to the Chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC, Sen Abdullahi Adamu, requesting that officials of the NDLEA be given access to conduct drugs integrity tests for politicians seeking political offices in the country.
Marwa said that when it is the turn of PDP and other political parties, to conduct their primaries, he would also write the National chairmen and request that operatives of NDLEA be allowed to conduct drugs integrity tests on politicians aspiring for higher offices.
The Anti- narcotics Chief who reiterated the call on Wednesday while decorating officers who have distinguished themselves in the fight against drugs with medals and awards added that, the drugs test is necessary to ensure that politicians vested with important national offices do not use budgetary allocations to go and buy cocaine or Methamphetamine instead of providing needed services for the masses.
