Lt- General Buratai who recollected the enduring contributions of past PMAN leaders like Christy Essien Igbokwe and Sony Okosun said that music contributes to the unity, development and education of any society
The PMAN national president Hajiya Amina Dangaji who led the delegation said that PMAN was a violence free and peaceful Nigeria. She said that the group was particularly worried about drug abuse, lack of parental care, corruption, rising case of pipeline vandalism and insurgency.
