A Nigerian lawmaker, Kawu Sumaila, has alleged that his colleagues allow the use of hard drugs in their homes and offices.
Kano South Senator Kawu Sumaila said this during plenary on Tuesday while contributing to the debate on a Bill to establish the National Institute for Drug Awareness and Rehabilitation.
“As I am speaking now, most of our offices in our constituencies, most of our political offices in our constituencies, most of our houses, when you go there, you will find out that there is a mountain of drugs and there are drug dealers in our offices and in our houses. All in our houses,” he said.
“I can take you to some of the political leaders who are in so many ways contributing or supporting drug abusers in Nigeria. Therefore, Mr President, we need to be serious,” he said.
The lawmaker then suggested that some lawmakers may actually be using the hard drugs.
“If we are talking, we need to understand, we are all one here. We need to fight it from our own side. We need to be serious. Let us go to the test and see who and who are not,” he said.
