President Mohamed Muizzu said last night that anyone who prioritises the nation above all else will find no reason to disagree with the philosophy of the People’s National Congress (PNC).
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the PNC Congress held at the Social Centre, Muizzu emphasised that if the country is put first, there will be broad cooperation for the initiatives the PNC intends to deliver for the citizens.
"If the nation is prioritised first, there will be no disagreement with the philosophy and direction of this party. Everyone will cooperate in the efforts this government and this party undertake for the people in the coming days," Muizzu said.
"Therefore, God willing, the philosophy and core policy behind everything the PNC does for the citizens will be centred on this very principle."
The President further noted that the PNC will move forward under the slogan "Nation First," asserting that there is no internal division regarding this stance. He attributed the party's unity and lack of fragmentation to this shared commitment.
However, Muizzu remarked that whenever destructive ideologies opposing the PNC held power in the past, they failed to prioritise the nation. He added that, at times, these factions had even worked against the principles of Islam.
Muizzu claimed that the PNC is the only party in the Maldives currently working with the nation's best interests at heart. He characterised all other political ideologies as destructive.
Furthermore, he stated that the PNC’s policy is one of upholding and championing the Islamic faith, a stance he described as being worlds apart from other political parties. He concluded by asserting that the greatest benefit to the nation lies in moving forward with the PNC.
