Vice President Ahmed Adeeb declared unwavering loyalty to President Abdulla Yameen today, dismissing speculation of his involvement in a blast on the president’s speedboat last week.
Speaking to the press for the first time since the explosion on September 28, Adeeb said he could not go to the airport to receive the president because he was coughing and ill the previous night.
As he would also have been onboard the “Finifenma” speedboat, Adeeb said the “attack or threat was aimed at myself also.”
