The Chairman of the NDLEA, Brigadier-General Buba Marwa , stated this at the 2022 First Quarter Best Performing Commands Awards ceremony which held in Abuja.
He said, “For politicians, we have long advocated and I take the opportunity again to repeat the advocacy that when they run for public office it demands a lot of responsibility from the person and we need to be certain if he’s a person that is already a drug addict/user who will spend all the money he’s given for public service to consume cocaine and his head will not be in a stable condition to handle the affairs he has been entrusted with.
“I recommended that drug tests be incorporated in the screening process for all those interested in running for public office; we’ll do the same to the PDP and other important parties.”that the use of drugs by politicians would affect governance. “The NMA will not have any objection to that. Even if not for politics, we want to ensure that everyone is on the correct state of mind. As a doctor, we do clinical examinations for fitness for instance.”However, the NBA said the drug test could only be enforced if it had legal backing. It, therefore, advised the NDLEA to submit a bill seeking to make the test mandatory.
“For me, it may not even just stop at drug tests they may also need to do some tests to check their mental capacity and certain other things about their health. But apart from that, until a law is passed to that effect, the NDLEA can only suggest while parties can make it part of their policy. So, aspirants can’t be forced to do drug tests because they want to run for political office.”
“So, any person who decides to run on the party’s platform will now abide by the dictates of the party. I think that’s how it can be done if we are serious about it.
