A Witness, Richard Ihediwa, told a Federal High Court on Thursday that embattled Olisa Metuh, solely funded publicity activities during Jonathan’s re-election campaign.

Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is being tried for alleged N400 million money laundering.

He said that it came to a point that the ‘situation room’ was not funded by the party, and Metuh decided to pick up the burden and funded the activities of the publicity team from his pocket.

The witness said the financial status of the publicity arm was so bad that it got to a point that they could no longer pay companies that ran adverts for them.

He told the court that it was so bad that he contemplated resigning his position because the work load was too much for him to carry.

“But Metuh begged and asked me to understand that the office was not funded.

“That was when it was decided that extra hands be hired but he (Metuh) said he will pay them from his pocket.

“The nature of our schedule was so tight that I literally broke down because of pressure of work. I couldn’t cope because I was alone.

“I told Metuh I would not be able to continue except he hired other professionals.

“He reminded me that funding was an issue in the party and said he had severally made a case to the national working committee to no avail.

It would be very hard for our leaders to succeed. Nigerians no longer stand for the truth. We have been blinded by Ethnicity and Religion.

Even when u see the truth; and because the culprit is a muslim, the muslim NL warriors will spark and the same applicable to the christian.

When news that has to do with southern or Northern people make d frontpage; both regions will be sloging it out and will even forget the reality of the contents.

My brother, my brother supports is what is killing us the most. Brothers that u have never benefited from and may never benefit anything from.

May be when we divided; we all face the reality of our brothers and may no longer see anyone to blame

From your pockets?



Akuko Uwa

You diverted most of the monies into your accounts instead of using them for what it's was meant for jare

Even after receiving N400 million Metuh no gree pay the publicity staff.
Chop alone die alone.
