Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II•Indicts politicians for using addicts as thugs
Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, yesterday advocated compulsory drug test for Nigeria’s leaders, even as he indicted politicians for using addicts as thugs.At the opening of a two-day Senate discussion on Drug Abuse Epidemic in Nigeria held in Kano yesterday, Sanusi said: “If we, the leaders, political office holders, ministers, emirs, senators and even Imams claim we are not part of the cause of this menace, we are deceiving ourselves because we have seen how governors parade these youths who are under the influence of drugs and move around in their convoys for security cover.”
Sanusi, who represented the Sultan of Sokoto, Dr. Sa’ad Abubakar, said: “You can count many of these thugs who are on the payroll of politicians, working for them and having access to security agencies. In fact, it is becoming profitable for these youths to work for these politicians who give them all they want rather than look for gainful employment.
