Malami, also the Attorney General of the Federation, had given the indication that the Federal Government would not rule out the option of declaring a state of emergency in Anambra given the violence in the state ahead of the November 6 governorship poll in the state.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Malami’s position was to avert constitutional crisis in the state.
Mohammed said no government would fold its arms and allow the pillar of democracy to be destroyed.
The minister recalled that during previous democratic dispensations, state of emergency was declared in Ekiti and Plateau States.
On the position of some critics that government did not declare state of emergency in Zamfara, Katsina and Kaduna where they alleged there were more killings, the minister said the situation was not the same with Anambra.
