The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brig. Gen. Buba Marwa (rtd) has written a letter to the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator 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, who disclosed this during the first quarter award ceremony of the agency in Abuja on Wednesday, explained that the drugs test is necessary to ensure that politicians vested with important national offices do not use budgetary allocations to buy cocaine or Methamphetamine.
The NDLEA boss also noted that when it is the turn of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other parties to conduct primaries, he would write the national chairman and request that same drugs test be carried out on all aspirants.
