What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN) has issued a new directive regarding suspending its president, veteran singer Pretty Okafor.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that PMAN’s National Working Committee (NWC) suspended Mr Okafor over multiple violations of the organisation’s constitution, financial misappropriation, and other offences.

However, during his appearance on TVC, Mr Okafor dismissed PMAN’s NWC allegations against him, noting that they were motivated by greed and selfishness.

In a recent development, NEC confirmed the upholding of Mr Okafor’s suspension in a statement sent to this newspaper on Monday.

The statement partly read: “The NEC directs the National Working Committee (NWC) to maintain the status quo regarding the suspension of Mr Pretty Okafor and the Chapter Governors/Sole Administrators. The NWC should take no further actions concerning these suspensions until the PMAN Constitution conducts a full hearing. This decision ensures fairness and adherence to due process.
