While Addressing members of the committee, Okafor lamented the failure of new singers to join PMAN, adding that the benefits of membership are huge, including resolving contractual issues between musicians and record labels.

He Stated also, “We engage the music managers association of Nigeria. We engage the record label association of Nigeria, and we also engage the artistes. That is why it is difficult to manage the crisis that has erupted now.

“We have a lot of people under PMAN including 2face, MI, Banky W, and so on. They all belong to the association. But the younger ones or maybe their managers and record labels are not passing positive messages to them. That is why it was difficult for them to join the union.

“So when this crisis started, I personally wanted to interfere, but I could not. That is the main reason for being a PMAN member.”

Mohbad lawyer, Selzing Zingfa, said the late singer had issues with his former record label, Marlian Records, which had yet to be resolved.

Zingfa Explained , “Mohbad and the Marlian Records had some arrangements which I cannot term as a record label agreement and this is subject to litigation currently.

“While he worked with them in some sense, he released an extended play and a number of singles. Now those songs are subjects of litigation which he was in court for prior to his demise.
