President Pretty Okafor’s Leadership Triumphs Amid Unfounded Suspension Attempts

*President Pretty Okafor’s Leadership Triumphs Amid Unfounded Suspension Attempts

 

In a powerful demonstration of unwavering leadership and dedication to the Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN), President Pretty Okafor has not only fulfilled but significantly surpassed all constitutional requirements to continue his role as the association’s President. This comes after a recent, misguided attempt by disgruntled members of the National Working Committee (NWC) to suspend him while he was abroad, tirelessly promoting PMAN’s interests.

 

 

*Invalid Suspension Attempt by NWC Members*

 

Recently, certain members of the NWC made an ill-advised attempt to suspend President Pretty Okafor during his absence from Nigeria. At the time, President Okafor was diligently working to elevate PMAN’s profile on the international stage, demonstrating his commitment to advancing the association’s objectives. However, these members, driven by discontent, sought to undermine his leadership by initiating a suspension process that was not only ill-timed but also lacked the proper jurisdiction.

It is essential to highlight that according to the PMAN Constitution, the NWC does not have the authority to unilaterally suspend the President. Any suspension must follow due process as outlined in the constitution, which includes the involvement of a National Disciplinary Committee (NDC) and the opportunity for the accused to defend themselves. The recent actions taken by the NWC were in clear violation of these procedures, rendering their attempt to suspend President Okafor null and void.

 

*Overwhelming NEC Support and Compliance with Constitutional Requirements

 

Despite the attempts to destabilize his leadership, President Pretty Okafor has received overwhelming support from the National Executive Council (NEC) members, far exceeding the minimum quorum requirements as stated in Articles 11 (B) and 11 (H) of the PMAN Constitution. With a total of 31 NEC members, the constitution mandates that at least 11 members are required to form a quorum. President Okafor has not only met this threshold but has secured far greater support, reinforcing the legitimacy of his leadership.

This unprecedented level of support from NEC members is a clear repudiation of the baseless actions taken by the NWC. It underscores the trust and confidence that the wider PMAN leadership and membership have in President Okafor’s ability to guide the association with integrity and vision.

*Setting New Standards in PMAN Leadership*
Under President Pretty Okafor’s leadership, PMAN has witnessed an era of unprecedented unity and progress. His ability to exceed the quorum requirements and maintain the support of a diverse and representative group of NEC members is a testament to his effective and inclusive approach to governance. No other President in PMAN’s history has achieved such a high level of engagement and endorsement from the NEC, making President Okafor’s tenure truly historic.

The actions of President Okafor, particularly in the face of unfounded attempts to discredit him, have set a new benchmark for leadership within PMAN. By adhering strictly to the constitution and ensuring all decisions are made transparently and democratically, he has reinforced the association’s commitment to due process and fairness.

 

 

*Moving Forward with Unity and Purpose

 

As PMAN moves forward, the association stands united under the exemplary leadership of President Pretty Okafor. The overwhelming support from the NEC not only vindicates his leadership but also signals a renewed commitment to the collective goals of the association. PMAN remains focused on its mission to uplift the Nigerian music industry, and with President Okafor at the helm, the future looks brighter than ever.

In conclusion, the recent attempts to suspend President Pretty Okafor were not only procedurally flawed but also failed to gain the necessary support within PMAN. President Okafor’s continued leadership, backed by the NEC, ensures that PMAN remains on a path of growth, transparency, and unity. The association calls on all members to stand firm and work together to achieve our shared vision for the future.

According to insiders, friends of Obesere are worried about the potential consequences of the alleged secret affair for his marriage; the associated scandal, heartbreak and the impact on his reputation as his wife was already in the know and reportedly spoiling for a showdown.

 

Sources said the clandestine nature of the saga makes it difficult to know how long their affair has been going on and how often the lovebirds meet or interact.

 

Speaking on the rumour, an ally of Yinka who didn’t want to be named for confidential reasons, said “it is not impossible”, adding that though it wasn’t a public topic yet.

 

“A single lady romancing a married man is part of socializing, especially if both of them have always known and supportive of each other,” the source quipped.

 

Yinka is a single, career woman with kids while Obesere is married. Thus, a close relationship between such high-profile celebrities who interestingly are also showbiz aficionados, is bound to attract intense media attention and public speculation.

 

Calls made to both Yinka and Obesere to confirm the authenticity of this information went unanswered while text messages sent to their known mobile telephone numbers were not replied as at press time.
