By Favour Chukwunoyenim

It was a carnival-like atmosphere in Ase, a coastal town in Ndokwa East Local Government Area of Delta State when on Sunday October 15 2017, Chief Chukwuma Benson led over 1000 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the Young Democratic Party (YDP).

At the ceremony witnessed by the State Working Committee of the YDP led by its chairman, Hon. Barr Festus Ofume, Chief Chukwuma Benson stated that with the end of his romance with the PDP, the PDP has become a ghost town in Ase Kingdom and Ndokwa East Local Government Area generally.
