Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Brigadier-General Buba Marwa (Retd), has said that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi alongside others seeking party tickets for the 2023 presidential election will undergo drugs integrity test.

Marwa made this known on Wednesday during the first quarter award ceremony of the agency in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
According to the NDLEA boss, he has written the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) concerning the test adding that other political parties such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will receive the letter notifying them of the test.
He, however, explained that the drugs test is essential to ensure that public office holders vested with important national assignments are not using budgetary allocations to purchase cocaine or methamphetamine, better known as “Mkpulu Mmiri” for their personal use.
