The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has written to the Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, requesting that officials of the agency be given access to conduct drugs integrity tests for politicians seeking political offices in the country.
The NDLEA Chairman, Brig-Gen Buba Marwa (Retd) said this on Wednesday in Abuja while speaking at the 1st quarter award ceremony of the agency.
He also said that when it is the turn of PDP and other parties, to conduct their party primaries, the agency would also write their national chairmen and request that operatives of NDLEA be allowed to conduct drugs integrity tests on politicians aspiring for higher offices in their parties.
“The drugs test is necessary to ensure that politicians vested with important national offices do not used budgetary allocations to go and buy cocaine or Methamphetamine instead of providing needed services for the masses,” Marwa said.
