Jos THE National president of the Nigeria medical Association, NMA, Dr. Kayode Obembe has recommended psychiatric tests for all those seeking elective offices to azcertain their fitness for such jobs.

 

 In a communique issued at the end of NMA  National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Jos, the Plateau State capital, Obembe said the recommendation was as the result of irrational behaviours exhibited by some politicians in their political activities.

 

 

 According to him; "The politicians' behaviour have the potential to overheat the polity especially when the nation is preparing for the 2015 general elections.

 

 " Candidates must be certified mentally fit to vie for elective positions. Health certificate should be criteria for consideration and psuchiatric hospitals should register with the NMA for the purpose of having access to examination centres by politicians."
