Emir of Kano, Mohammed SanusiThe Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has called for a law that would compel public officers and traditional rulers to undergo drug test in the country.
He made the call at the Senate Roundtable on drug abuse held in Kano on Monday.
NAN reports that the event is organised by the Senate in order to address drug abuse epidemic in the country.
He said the call was necessary in order to ensure that anybody was not allowed to hold political office and traditional leadership positions.
“I am ready to submit myself for the drug test.
“I suggest that ministers, governors and traditional rulers should go for drug test because when youths understand that they cannot be governors, ministers or senators if they are drug addicts, they will be into their senses.
“The country is facing a great danger because the fight against drug abuse has to be taken seriously if we are to succeed,’’ he said.
