Yameen is the only leader who can build additional airports if needed: Saeed

Vice President of the People’s National Congress (PNC) and MP for the Maavashu constituency, Mohamed Saeed said that former President and opposition leader, President Yameen Abdul Qayyoom is the only leader who will build additional airports if needed.

Speaking at one of the party meetings Saeed said that Yameen is continuously fighting the bigger issues facing the country and the PPM intends to put the country first at every step. He said that Yameen had concluded a short term of five years, faced immense hardship, and still succeeded in bringing unparalleled development all over the nation.

Saeed said that Yameen opened the first ever Code F Runway on September 18, 2018, in the Maldives, which could easily welcome the biggest and most modern aircrafts in the world. He said that it was the former president’s dream to welcome the national team at this runway on a flight flown by a Maldivian pilot.

Saeed said that GMR had 4 “wheels” in the Maldives; The Speaker of Parliament and Former President Mohamed Nasheed, Defense Minister Mariya Ahmed Didi, Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid and President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.

However, Saeed likened the current government to a paper boat that will never stay afloat and said that president Yameen will return again to build a third runway as well. The former Economic Minister said that it was a mockery that the people on a flimsy vessel may question the visionary that was Yameen.

Saeed asserted that should the need to enlarge the airport arise, and should there be the need to build an airport that could house over 7 million passengers, President Yameen will definitely be the leader for the job.
