PMAN Condemns anti-Igbo hate song Circulating Northern Nigeria

The national leadership of the PERFORMING MUSICIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (
PMAN) has condemned & dissociated itself & members from the anti-Igbo song
circulating in Northern Nigeria, the PMAN President & national leader of
all musicians in Nigeria Lord-Liege Keston Okoro, flanked by his deputies
Gbenga Falope the first vice President & Baba Ojonugwa J.F.O, the second
vice President & national leader of the 19 northern states made this known
after meeting with major stakeholders of the music industry in northern
Nigeria at Abuja.
The condemnation of the song by the PMAN national hierarchy is out of
concern for national peace & stability.

“ we are resolute & committed to a united Nigeria where every citizens
right are equally guaranteed thus we are calling on the federal government,
security agencies and traditional rulers at all levels, to promptly device
methods of checking the hate song from degenerating ,” it said.

“ And PMAN is seriously conceptualising towards a NIGERIAN PEACE & UNITY
MUSICAL CONCERT TOUR in all the states of the federation which can not be
overemphasized as this in conflict management studies is an early response,
to prevent the outbreak of conflict to save lives and resources,”

It noted the that the hate song is reminiscent of the Rwanda genocide where
Simon Bikindi, was responsible for the Rwandan song which triggered the
genocide in Rwanda.
The PMAN leadership hence called on all Nigerian musicians to preach love,
peace & unity in all their works as we are all partners in the  development
of our dear nation.
