The Chairman, Omala Transition Committee, Hon. Edibo Ameh Mark has felicitated with Muslim faithfuls in Omala as they celebrate the Eid-el-fitr today.

In a statement this morning, Hon. Edibo said this period of celebration affords all of us the opportunity to call on God in prayers to restore peace to our land, noting that the government is doing its best to restore peace, ensure the security of lives and properties of our people and most importantly ensure the peaceful return of all those displaced in the recent attacks at Agojeju-Odo. He said "Today as we celebrate, I urge us all to remember our land in prayers to Almighty Allah for peace. I also enjoin us all to support the government to ensure the return of lasting peace to all crisis-affected areas of the local Government", the Chairman said.

While noting the efforts of Government at all levels in bringing lasting peace to Omala, the Chairman said that Security is everybody's business and hence we all are stakeholders in securing our land and people. He therefore encouraged all citizens to be vigilant, security conscious and report any suspicious movements or activities to security agents.

The Chairman said the lessons of the month of Ramadan are lessons of hope and our trust in the Almighty Allah to deliver us from all evil at all times has been strengthened by the prayers we have all made during the holy month.
