At least 20 aspirants seeking elective offices in the forthcoming local government elections in Kano State have tested positive for multiple drugs by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The NDLEA commander in the state, Abubakar Idris Ahmad, confirmed this to Daily Trust on Tuesday in his office.

He said some of the aspirants tested positive for drugs opioid (codeine), THC (Tetrahydro cannabis, an active ingredient for cannabis sativa), benzodiazenpines and nicotine.

“So far 20 aspirants presented to us by the ruling party (NNPP) in the state have tested positive for multiple drugs test and the exercise is ongoing.

“Many of them tested positive for Nicotine as far as our test is concerned but is left for the electoral commission to decide if tobacco is drug or not because it is something you find even in kola nut,” Ahmad said.

He however said so far no female aspirant tested positive so far.

He explained that only NNPP had so far presented its aspirants for the drug screening ahead of submission of its candidates’ list to the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) which would finally conduct verification for all candidates.

The commission has fixed October 26 to conduct local government elections into 44 chairmanship and 484 councillorship positions by the 18 registered political parties.

Daily Trust reports that the KANSIEC Chairman, Professor Sani Lawal Malumfashi and his commissioners visited the NDLEA office on Monday.

Gen Z see una sef.

One law that will never be passed by our legislature is the DRUG TEST as MUST for prospective politicians into elective offices.

Any bill in that regard will be highly resisted and shot down because larger percent of those governors and legislators are drug addicts.

I can not stop laughing,even if they present another candidates there's higher probability they'll still tested positive.

It's when we stop hypocrisy and corruption before this country can move forward.

That's reality

NDLEA should stop being petty. If it's Nicotine, it is found mainly in Cigarette and Kolanut. Kola isn't drugs and cigarettes is still legal in Nigeria.
