The Nigerian Medical Association has recommended that each of the politicians seeking political offices in the 2015 elections should be made to undergo a psychiatric test to determine their mental state.

The NMA, in a communique at the end of the National Executive Council meeting in Jos, said that all psychiatric doctors should register with the Independent National Electoral Commission to supervise such test.

The communique also clarified issues on the strike embarked upon by some doctors, saying that medical doctors were not on strike, but would not succumb to blackmail.

The NMA National President, Dr. Kayode Obembe, who read the communique on Sunday, said that such a test had become necessary because of the manner some political office holders had been conducting themselves, adding that medical doctors had also been advised to register to participate in the political process at all levels.

They were also asked to register as polling officers to assist INEC to conduct a free and fair election.

The communique said, “As the events that will culminate in the 2015 general elections in Nigeria start in different parts of the country, apprehension appears to be building up among the citizenry for so many reasons, ranging from the insecurity challenge being unleashed on the nation by the terrorist sect, Boko Haram, the face-off between the executive and legislative arms of government, the threat of impeachment being peddled by a sizeable section of the National Assembly against the President, to the economic crisis that has necessitated desperate measures from the government.

“The NMA wishes to join other Nigerians at home and abroad as well as the international community, to express the need for politicians in the country to tread with caution so as not to cause tension in a system that is already heated to a near-boiling point.

“We also urge the Federal Government to scale up security apparatus to checkmate the emerging security challenges in the country.”

The association also urged Nigerians of voting age to participate fully in the voting process and elect their leaders come 2015.

Good one! And the result should be published. I want to see jonathan's result if any brain is left in his skull. I hope he takes the test first, and we can forgive him based on the diagnosis.

Approved! Gbam.

Very necessary

Best decision ever made by the NMA. Most APC cyber rodent with their janja.we.ed life style should take advantage of this golden oppurtunity to ascertain their mental fitness. So gbawe egift berem omenka cramjones you people should go and join the qeue.

It's a good idea but let's look at the other side.
If people can fake medical reports then what makes this one immune to such manipulations?

These are desperate times for politicians and they can do anything to achieve what they want.

.

It's good enough they have such an idea, but bad enough politicians will play politics with he issue

i will be back

Godfullsam:
Yes oooo... They need it . Especially those honourable members climbing gate during the recent national assembly saga. No same person will do such thing, they are not honourable at all.

. Guy drive back. Maybe in another country but in Nigeria, everyone posses the same brain. Even the person who will do the test need to check his/her mental state too, I'm sure the result won't differ from each other. U will know a Nigerian brain when you see one. They can turn the whole world upside down, they use your tool against you. Americans hate them . Our governments and citizens are the same things, the only different is privilege to get there....Nigerians can jump into molue through the window on motions

better

Best suggestion ever.
