Baba Ojonugwa concurred with Pretty Okafor that the music industry has suffered so much due to the long crisis & ”we have not been able to harness any benefit from the policies and budgets of government, including but not limited to the ongoing Federal Government survival funds to various sectors of the economy, owing to the disagreements in PMAN”, thus we must put an end all issues and move as one PMAN.
