It is our strong belief that nobody is or should be above the law, in the light of the foregoing as law abiding people, we stand by our judgement and other pending court processing and shall follow same to logical conclusion and for the avoidance of doubt, we are not averse to peace and settlement of the matter, legal option appears to be most reliable at this juncture that justice will not only be done but must be seeing as being done once and for all. We hereby wish to assure our numerous members, associates, business partners and consultants that the current interim national executive care taker committee under the able leadership of Mr. Pretty okafor as president is standing on a sound legal footing as this is the only product of legitimate succession order in PMAN history until proven otherwise. We therefore implore all concerned to eschew bitterness and order and embrace peace and order by enrolling into the current biometric identification card scheme for membership as it portends great future for our union, the music industry and the nation Nigeria in general.

We shall continue to carry out our duties and functions as stipulated in the PMAN Constitution and also in the court judgement which has mandated us to deliver a New National Executive of PMAN at the expiration of the 18 month tenure.
