Ochonma Is New PMAN Factional President

The crises rocking the umbrella body for Nigerian musicians PMAN is about to take another twist with the emergence of Mr. Innocent Ochonma as the new chairman of PMAN caretaker committee.

A 45-man committee instituted by the trade union to save PMAN from the factional groups which have left the union redundant for more than four years converged last week at the Planet One, Ikeja, Lagos, in order to find a way to forge ahead and bring back the lost glory of the music Union.

The purpose of the meeting was to align with stakeholders in charting the way of returning PMAN to an exalted and effective association for all the stakeholders.

In attendance were Charlyboy, Pretty Okafor, Felix Duke, Alex O, Jazman Olofin, Kupa Victory, Ochonma, Brown Bread, and many others.

At the end of the peaceful meeting, PMAN members and some stakeholders present were clearly dissatisfied with the current leadership of another factional leader Kelvin Lucciano and casted a vote of no confidence after two years of not achieving their mandate.

Amongst the resolution reached was an urgent and timely need to restructure PMAN and ensure that all the stakeholders benefit from the association under a new leadership.

This development is coming weeks after another factional president Pretty Okafor launched the Bio-metric Card Scheme that allows registered members to secure and protect their income and benefits and reconcile the warring factions.

The Bio-metric Card Scheme will enable the artiste upload their work unto the protected database of PMAN which goes through the encoding process, storage and release to the replication avenues at a very low cost.
