The Yoruba Socio-Cultural Organization, Afenifere, has described the announcement by the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, that the federal government may declare a state of emergency in Anambra State as a self-indictment.
The National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Jare Ajayi disclosed that, to shift the failure-blame to the state government is shocking and unfortunate.
Ajayi said, Malami’s remark was more of a verdict of failure on the part of the federal government to provide security rather than the failure of the Anambra State government.
He maintained that it was in order for the federal government to warn that the incessant violence in the state was unacceptable and may lead to undesirable consequence, but it is a height of blame game and hypocrisy to put all the blame on the state government.
