TEE MAC And His Team Are Fake, Says Pretty Okafor
Daniji Emmanuel
The Crisis-ridden Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (also known as Performing Musicians Employers’ Association Of Nigeria and abbreviated as PMAN) is an organisation founded by Christy Essien-Igbokwe and Sunny Okosun in 1984 to guide, protect and promote the interests of musicians in the west African nation of Nigeria. Authorized by the government of Nigeria under the Trade Unions Act, the organisation also has the responsibility to regulate the practice of music profession in the country.
Pretty Okafor of the defunct group (Junior & Pretty) was elected President of the Trade Union, August 2018 while the 1st Vice President is Sunny Neji, and 2nd Vice is Zaaky Azay. INSIDE BUSINESS’ Daniji Emmanuel Encounters Pretty. Excerpts.
——————————
How true is the claim by Tee Mac and his team that your PMAN presidency is fake?
Tee Mac can’t say that because we are the only PMAN executive that has tracked his fraud and exposed it. He is still under investigation and running from the court because he has been prosecuted already, i can give you more evidence to the case by given you the number of the prosecuting officer in charge at the Force Headquarters.
But Uncle P is being paraded as the immediate past president of PMAN.
This uncle P does not have any capacity or authority to be even PMAN secretary. Keston Okoro, Gbenga Falupe and Uncle P are all Tee Mac make-shift executives to destabilise the union so that attention will not be drawn to the crime he committed and also to make the authority not to trouble him since the Pretty Okafor that reported the case is not an authentic PMAN President. But we are the only authentic Excos, we have all the legal representations ,with the trademark ownership and appeal Court judgement on same matter. Because we are the only people recognized by the government, by the corporate bodies and by international bodies.
Keston Okoro resigned from Tee Mac team when he found out that it was a cover and that they are just been used by Tee Mac and Oritz Wiliki to cover their track. Same thing happened again when Gbenga Falope found out the truth. Tee Mac then went and brought Uncle P that the rest of their presidents are scared of Pretty Okafor that he Tee Mac want the person that can stand and fight Pretty Okafor.
Well if you notice, me and my Excos don’t even discuss this Uncle P because he is not even in the scheme of things or to even talk about him to people or media.To us they are not in existence and that is the only way to keep them quite….
The Excos of the two dissenting groups not singing again
We the new PMAN has the new musicians and trendy once among us but music politics has to some time deal with wisdom, maturity and understanding. At least we have 2face, MI , Asha Gangalee, Olu Maintain, then the newer boys want to see the structure and reforms before they put all their weight behind the union. We are doing a lot of convincing to make them see that it’s not like the old ways.
Any Update on the Biometric Project?
It started and was working with over 6.000.00 members already registered and started getting their benefits before Tee Mac, Oritz Wiliki and his thugs started writing petition and bringing all manners of Court judgement and injunction to Heritage Bank and tell them to stop issuing the Biometric ID Card, and you know banks do not want to get into any legal war, but our lawyers were able to present more documents to show Heritage Bank Management that these group of people are fraudulent and that is their stock in trade. So they started issuing again but at that time my Excos got upset that Heritage Bank would have contacted us before even stopping the issuance of the card. Right now It has been resolved and the benefit is even more for the practitioners.
So what is the litigation between PMAN and COSON all about?
PMAN is not in court with COSON. COSON is in court with itself. They were not transparent, all their activities was shrouded in secrecy’s of inconsistency, there were lot of allegations against Tony Okoroji about fraudulent activities but he refused to allow investigation about it and he was then voted out and he planned a coup and installed himself back. The Trade Union has to come and in and resolve the situation and it was at that point that Tony started picking on us , because he believes he is lord over everybody.
And if Efe is a member of COSON, why is PMAN defending him against Okorojie?
PMAN owns COSON and all the members are PMAN members. We are not supporting Efe but rather standing on the truth.
