Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) former National Chairman, Senator Ahmadu Ali’s wife, Dr. Maryam Ali has explained why she dumped PDP for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I believe I will be doing myself a lot of disservice if I don’t fulfill this burning desire in me. I know also a lot of people will wonder why I have chosen to opt for a political party different from my husband’s. Again, the answer is not farfetched; my family is a unique family, it is a family devoid of religious and ethnic differences.”

“You are all aware that Dr. Amadu Ali is a Muslim and I am a passionate Catholic; also Dr. Amadu Ali is from North-Central and I am from the South-South. It therefore suffices to say that my becoming an All Progressives Congress member and him being an active member of the Peoples Democratic Party further displays the uniqueness of my family.”

“My family is one which symbolises a people who want to serve a nation with oneness, love and peace as the focus.”
