BENIN—THE former Edo State Commissioner on the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Edo State, Mr Matthew Iduoriyekemwen, yesterday, said that those who defected to the party from the All Progressives Congress, APC, and are today returning to the APC because they failed to pick PDP tickets were lily livered politicians.

According to him, “They should know that before they came to the PDP, people were already there working hard and it is expected that they battle for the tickets and not assume that the tickets will be left for them to take on a platter of gold, that is why you see them going back to the APC today.”
