Sani disclosed this whille speaking during an interview on Tuesday on Arise Television.
He was speaking on the readiness of the party for next year’s general elections, noting that the PDP is the strongest party across the country.
He said, “Yes, of course, we are ready to accommodate alliances and collaboration, and I can assure you that, in view of the situation on ground and the lack of acceptability of the All Progressives Congress, APC, by Nigerians, PDP stands a chance.
“Nigerians have rejected the APC because they believe that the APC is the agent of poverty and poor governance.
“There are so many protests on bad governance. Nigerians have openly rejected the APC, and so they need an alternative. The PDP is very poised, very ready to provide that alternative.”
