James Mwankon Vwi (// ^ⓘborn 1 April 1952) is a Nigerian public servant and politician who served as a Member of the House of Representatives between 5 December 1992 and 17 November 1993 in Nigeria's short-lived Third Republic.He represented Barkin-Ladi constituency in the old Plateau State from which Nassarawa State was later carved on 1 October 1996. Following the inauguration of the Third House of Representatives on 5 December 1992, he was appointed to the House committee for petroleum and mineral resources. It was in the same legislature that Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso the national leader of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) served as Deputy Speaker. When the succeeding Sani Abacha military junta seized power from Ernest Shonekan's Interim National Government, all democratic structures of the Third Republic were dissolved the most prominent of which was the Third National Assembly sitting in Abuja. He then recessed from political life till the dawn of the Fourth Nigerian Republic in 1997 when he joined the United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP) known mockingly at the time as the army's proxy.
