Culture Minister Adam Naseer has fired his PA after the PA walked into a room where he and Athika (right side) were kissing.
It was his 6th PA. He is now looking for a 7th PA.
Athika used to work in Supreme Court but she was fired from there.
He Built with vision.
Led with purpose.
He made Thinadhoo City what it is today, a cornerstone for all of Huvadhoo to be proud of.
Vote him once again to keep it moving forward and for this City to shine once again ✅

A warm welcome to Mayor Saud as he resumes his official duties after a three-month unconstitutional suspension by the Local Government Authority (LGA). Throughout the ordeal, Mayor Saud diligently pursued all available legal remedies, including formal appeals through the Civil Court system. The enthusiastic reception from Thinadhoo residents upon his return demonstrates the strong community support and confidence in their elected representative. Welcome back, Mayor Saud!
Thinadhoo people warmly greets their lawfully elected Mayor back from suspension @ThinadhooMV 💛
Mayor Saudh claims he was unlawfully suspended for 3 months, claiming they had matters to look into and had even appealed his suspension to the Civil Court.
Marhabaa Mayor Saudh 💛
Unreasonable, Unjustifiable and unlawful dealings in progress!
There is no valid reason for the govt to ‘compensate’ Villa Air (VA) over Kadeddhoo Airport (KDM).
No significant investments made by VA.
They have failed to fulfill their obligations under the agreement.
At this moment, govt should have terminated the agreement.
Let me explain why;
2013 – Agreement to develop/operate KDM signed.
2017 – Agreement terminated by govt.
2018 – Civil Court ruled termination unlawful.
2019 – High Court upheld the ruling.
2021– Supreme Court reaffirmed it.
2022 – Agreement reinstated by govt.
The reinstated 50-year lease agreement signed on March 1, 2022 requires VA to develop KDM within 7 years:
Year 1 – Domestic facilities and operations must be upgraded to meet CAA certified standards.
By the Year 7 – A full-fledged international airport must be developed, meeting CAA certified standards for international operations.
VA failed to meet its Year 1 obligations, and now, in the 4th year, there has been no progress in the development works.
Therefore, the govt is in a strong position to unilaterally terminate the agreement without legal consequences. Should not even ask whether VA agree or not.
And hence there is no reasonable, justifiable and lawful situation to make a compensation as such.
If govt wants the airport, just terminate the agreement.
What deal?
