The People's Democratic Party in Ondo state, Nigeria, has expressed its opposition to the All Progressive Congress (APC) National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, who declared that Ondo and Anambra states would receive the Edo treatment when governorship elections take place. The party's Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Peretei, criticized Ganduje's vituperations as confirmation of the election being rigged. Peretei argued that Nigerians are losing hope in democracy when major players like Ganduje hold influential positions. He urged Ganduje not to be oblivion as one of its undertakers. The party also praised the courage of the Edo State people in the election, despite INEC's disobedience of their rules. The party urged Ganduje to give the "Edo Treatment" to his people in Kano State, where he was humiliated by the New Nigeria Peoples Party in last year's election.
