As more than 18 political parties in Nigeria preparing for the 2023 General Election in a bid to take over from the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, which leaves in a year, after two terms, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) now says it must be involved in the process by conducting drug tests for all the aspirants.
NDLEA’s chairman, Buba Marwa, has written to all the political parties for the consideration of the request to take part in the screening.
