The Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the imminent Edo Governorship Election has called on the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to subject party candidates in the poll to compulsory drug tests.
Making the call in a statement on Wednesday in Benin, the campaign council’s Director of Media, Kassim Afegbua, said the candidates need to present themselves for a serious drug test to ascertain their level of sanity.
He also said that Edo voters must be well-guided in making informed choices during the elections and avoid voting for a candidate who would spend the state’s resources on funding drug and alcoholic lifestyles.
