asthen Governor of the State, and an EXCO Member of the State PDP, went to the PDP Secretariat in Plateau State, where he gave the Sum of Sixty Six Million Naira (N66, 000, 000) for distribution to the Wards through their Local Government Chairmen. This Witness did not know the Source of the Money distributed, but knew that the Money was distributed to each of the Seventeen (17) Local Governments for the benefit of Three Hundred (300) State Wards. Under Cross-Examination, he maintained the point that it was Proper for his Party to have received the Sum of Sixty Six Million Naira (N66, 000, 000) from the Ecological Fund, as his Party was the Party in Power. By this above testimony of Chief Mai Chibi Vwalji, a Former Deputy Chairman of the PDP Plateau State Chapter, it simply shows the World, a Man completely out of touch with the Financing of a Political Party, as it is clear that he had never read or digested the Byelaws of his Party, both at the State Level as well as the at the National Level, and perhaps never did, when he joined the Party or contested for the Office of Deputy Chairman of his Party’s Chapter. He would have put to heart the Byelaws of his Party, to discover for himself that Funds of Plateau State Government and that of the Peoples Democratic Party are distinctively and mutually exclusive. These Funds never mix!!! Further, it is inconceivable that Funds of the Plateau State Government and that of any Political Party, in whatever shape or manner, should swing as a Pendulum from the Plateau State Government to a Political Party and vice versa. Doing so, would unapologetically undermine Funds meant for the General Good of the Citizens of Plateau State. If such is to occur, it is contrary to our Laws, it is Repugnant to Natural Justice, Equity and Good Conscience and importantly, to Public Policy. Chief Mai Chibi Vwalji’s testimony uttered in Public, is quite disturbing, and shocking, and is no doubt an embarrassment to the Polity of his Party and for everything the Philosophy of Democracy stands for. When he subsequently knew that the Source of the N66Million that was paid to his Party, had emanated from the Plateau State Ecological Funds, he did not even Bulge or even Mask a Surprise. Rather, he pontificated at the fact that his Party,was the Ruling Party in Power and so, it was morally right to use Government Monies for his Party. This is a glorified example of Ignorance is Bliss.It is likened to the Arabian Quotation that says “He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him. He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; follow him”. Now, it is certain that the Central Bank Cheque was issued in the Name of the Plateau State Government. There is NO follow-up Directive from the Federal Government of Nigeria that Payments in the Sum of N66Million was for the benefit of 274 PDP Wards and the Sum of N10Million to Senator Mantu, was for the benefit of Ten (10) Plateau Central Zones. Even on the assumption that these Payments were legitimate, it might well have been ordered to be paid from the Plateau State Government’s Account and not from the Central Bank of Nigeria Cheque meant to meet the plight of the Citizens of Plateau State, who were facing Ecological Problems that needed Reclamation and Channelization. It is worthy of note that this Distribution List as contained in the Defendant’s Extra-Judicial Statement, whether true or an afterthought still does not MATERIALLY change the Purpose Mandate, which was, to Solve Ecological Problems in Plateau State. In fact, the Extra-Judicial Statement, further drove home the point that the Monies were disposed of or used for Purposes other than for the Actual Purpose it was meant for. 138
