The Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria (FUMAN) has clarified issues surrounding the tenure of its National President following the successful conduct of its National Convention held at Sulerious Lakeside Hotel, Ahoyaya, Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State.
Lagos, Nigeria — Tuesday, May 19, 2026. The association said the clarification became necessary following comments circulating in some quarters regarding the tenure of the National President and other elected officers of the association after the convention.
FUMAN explained that all activities surrounding the National Convention and the emergence of new executives were conducted in accordance with the provisions of the association’s constitution and established democratic procedures.
According to the association, the constitution provides for the conduct of conventions and elections while dissolving the National Executive Council at every convention to pave way for fresh elections.
The association further stated that its constitution does not prescribe any term limit for National, State, and Zonal Executives, including the offices of the President, Governors, and Chairmen, thereby making all duly elected officers constitutionally recognized based on the mandate of members nationwide.
FUMAN noted that the recent convention produced a blend of experienced and newly elected officers, adding that six of the newly elected executives are serving third terms, five are serving second terms, while two officers are serving their first terms respectively.
The association described this as a reflection of the confidence members have in the leadership of the organization.
The association urged members of the public, stakeholders in the entertainment industry, and members nationwide to disregard reports suggesting any constitutional breach regarding the tenure of its executives. FUMAN reaffirmed its commitment to unity, peace, professionalism, and the continued promotion and preservation of Fuji music across Nigeria and beyond.
