The residents of Addu City are opposed to surrendering the decentralized powers vested in their local councils to a ministry based in Male'. They have no desire to grant such an opportunity. The people of Addu City want the authority to make their own decisions regarding the affairs of their city.MDP President Abdulla Shahid
