PPM will never break up so long as photographs of Gayoom exist: PPM MP Ahmed Nihan

Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) MP Ahmed Nihan Hussain Manik has claimed that as long as photos of former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom exist PPM will never “break up”.

Speaking at the closing ceremony at PPM’s first congress, local media reported Nihan as proclaiming that “no one” has as much courage as Gayoom and that PPM would not end up like the Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP).

“People have asked me during this election whether PPM is breaking up. There’s no way that PPM would break up as long as President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom is around and if he’s not around, as long as even a photo of him exists.

“There’s no chance of that happening. I’m telling you, there’s no one who has that much courage. Forget it,” Nihan was quoted as saying in local media.

  1. Isn't this akin to worshipping false idols? After all he is just one man, not a political party or doesn't the PPM have a democratic principal or a single member with a mind of their own?

  2. Quick! We need to destroy all the pictures of Maumoon! That way PPM will break!

    "There’s no way that PPM would break up as long as President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom is around and if he’s not around, as long as even a photo of him exists."

    Yes, that's why DRP broke off into PPM previously. With the current Yameen vs Umar stuff I'm seeing, you lot will only break even further.

    You people don't have any ideology or philosophy to speak of and you'll only break into smaller and smaller pieces because of your twisted desire for power and control.

    "“no one” has as much courage as Gayoom"

    If you mean in terms of the damage he did to the country in his 30 years of ruling. Then yes, he's incomparable alright! Hyuk hyuk hyuk.
