The security agencies have been urged to ensure a peaceful celebration of this year’s Ga Homowo festival.

Mr Jonathan Nii Tackie Komme, Member of Parliament (MP) for Odododiodioo, said in a statement that the vigilance of the security agencies throughout the celebration of the traditional festivities of the Homowo was very important in view of the numerous chieftaincy disputes in the area.

“This will ensure that people did not take the law into their own hands to cause trouble, which could lead to violence and the loss of lives and property,” he noted.

The MP extended his warmest greetings to the chiefs and people of the Ga state as they observe the “Mmaadumo” (the planting of millet that precedes the ban on noise making before the festival).

He also called on the chiefs and people to observe the customary rites in peace and unity since they were one people with a common destiny.

In addition, Mr Tackie Komme said as brothers and sisters from a common ancestry, they should resolve their difference in a peaceful manner devoid of violence, which retarded progress and development.

He wished the people a fruitful and prosperous season and expressed the hope that they would be able to overcome all the challenges that confront them during the year to ensure that the next festival would be marked without any dispute for the advancement of the Ga state and people.
