I was in deep conversations with stakeholders in the organised
civil Rights community in the Country on the revelation that was made by the
then Anambra State’s governor-elect Professor Chukwuma Soludo shortly after he
emerged as the successor in office of the immediate past Chief executive of
that state that drug barons have captured political powers in Nigeria.
The erudite Professor of Banking and Finance then proceeded at
length to offer profound exposition of his claim. As we progress we will cite
his assertion in full.
It was in that same period that the Chief executive officer of the National Drugs Laws Enforcement Agency, Brigadier General Mohammed Buba Marwa, hinted that the agency may conduct drug tests on politicians aspiring for political offices.
