Gen Marwa who has been on a whirlwind visit as well as interactive session with stakeholders in parts of the country on the ways and means through which the destructive menace of drugs abuse can be eliminated in the country, as Chairman of the Presidential Committee on elimination of drugs abuse, expressed confidence that President Buhari’s performance so far would endear him to the electorates.
He said, “The Buba Marwa Organization is the first to organize rally in support of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016 because Buhari has done very well in three areas of economy, security and fight against corruption.
“He will return for the second term by the grace of God and for that, I have no doubt that all those vying for Aso Villa should wait till 2023”.
On the recent security situation in the country, he said the Army and other security agencies had done excellently well and need more support and encouragement from the general public.
On illicit drugs, Marwa said the committee he was chairing had made several contacts and efforts to control the importation, consumption and dealing in such drugs as well as the trafficker.
