Former presidential Candidate of the AAC Omoyele Swore had also pushed for Nigeria to tap into the economic benefit of Indian Hemp.

Sowore had on the 5th of September 2019 while proposing the idea said: “We have to start taking care of our weed, igbo, such that we can also contribute to the GDP of the world.”

“Some of the best weed in the world are grown in Ekiti state. I am very serious and people are making billions out of that particular plant that is very potent in Nigeria. We should be focusing on it.” he said.

“Our NDLEA should get the memo in advance that Nigeria would be exporting weed to cure cancer in other parts of the world instead of chasing after people who are growing weed. Whereas, they are not chasing after our politicians who are smoking cocaine in their houses”.
