Yabayi Sani, the National Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), has expressed his opposition to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s (NDLEA) proposal that aspirants for elective offices in the 2023 general elections be required to undergo drug integrity tests as part of the screening process.

The plan was labeled as ridiculous, ludicrous, preposterous, vile, and an intentional attack on the sensitivities of supporters of democracy in the nation, according to the IPAC National Chairman in a statement.

The NDLEA recently proposed that political parties conduct drug tests on all aspirants seeking to run for political office on their platforms in the 2023 general elections. Anaedoonline.ng recalls that the NDLEA recently proposed that political parties conduct drug tests on all aspirants seeking to run for political office on their platforms in the 2023 general elections.

According to the IPAC, “The awkward proposal portrays politicians as drug addicts who must be certified fit to run for various elective offices by the agency. It is reprehensible and unacceptable.”
