Fuji musician, Alhaji Abass Akande Obesere, recently held a secret meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan in the Aso Rock Villa over the serious threat posed by piracy to the music industry.

A statement signed by his publicist, Gbolahan Adetayo, and made available to E-PUNCH indicates that the artiste, who had been staying away from the entertainment scene following an alleged involvement in a scandal last year, was part of a Peoples Democratic Party delegation that visited the President some days ago.

Obesere, it said, had grabbed the opportunity to request audience with Jonathan and engaged him in a discussion on the need to review an existing law, which only prescribes a paltry fine of N50,000 as punishment for music copyright infringement.

The statement said the Fuji singer had argued during his meeting with the President that the fine was not sufficient to deter erring records pirates from continuing with their criminal activities.

It said the President, in response for Obesere’s plea, promised to revisit the issue and to introduce a more stringent measure to check piracy in the country.

okay.
