Oyo State Chapter of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN) is presently in a big crisis. It's governorship election scheduled for today Thursday 18 Sep., 2018, couldn't hold due to some unresolved issues.
The two contestants in the race Pastor Aderoju and Mr. Taiwo Omotunde were said to have disagreed on how the election should be conducted. According to a source within the association, who spoke to us on the condition of anonymous , it had been earlier agreed for delegates to be accredited with their Blue Cards. But the whole process was said to have changed after all delegates have been accredited and the electoral committee from national had a discussion with the contestants at about 2pm in the afternoon.
While Omotunde wanted the election to continue as planned, Aderoju, we gathered, suggested that the election be postponed till original membership card will be ready.
His stand was said to have infuriated most of the members who had, as early as 9am, gathered at the National Museum, Aleshinloye, Ibadan venue of the election.
"Could you believe that members of other associations like AJUMN, GOMAN, FUMAN etc under PMAN from across Oyo State were in Ibadan for the election; some came as far as Saki, Ogbomosho, Iseyin and other towns. Only some greedy persons called for cancellation when they felt they were going to lose.
Can you imagine someone who is the PMAN Secretary and the person in-charge of issuing I.D for members but refused to do so now calling for cancellation of election because members don't have original I.D card, but blue card, which had been earlier agreed to be used for the election.
Even when it has been agreed upon for the election to continue and the issue of I.D card be addressed within one month after the election or whoever wins the election be impeached if he fail to do the needful.
You now know who is afraid of defeat," the source said.
