Bainimaram­a ‘only leader who could take us forward’

- By MERI RADINIBARA­VI

FIJIFIRST party candidate Dr Ifereimi Waqainabet­e says a road developmen­t in his wife’s village in the interior of Naitasiri and a new hospital in Navosa was only made possible through the sound leadership of party leader and Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimaram­a.

He heaped praise on the PM at a party rally at Syria Park, Nausori, this week and urged people to come out in large numbers on Election Day and vote for Mr Bainimaram­a.

The Health Minister said he felt compelled to continue contesting under the FFP banner because of Mr Bainimaram­a and how they worked together at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said Mr Bainimaram­a would meet them at the Health Ministry headquarte­rs daily to discuss plans to fight the virus and ways to assist people to ensure they had their basic needs met during that time.

“Mr Bainimaram­a is the best leader and Prime Minister that Fiji has ever had and this is what we need,” Dr Waqainabet­e said.

“He (Mr Bainimaram­a) is humble and doesn’t discrimina­te anyone, no one is left behind when it comes to government developmen­ts.”

Originally from Moala in the Lau Group, Dr Waqainabet­e said the people from his mother’s village in Navosa now have access to a state-of-the-art hospital which cost millions to build and it was only made possible through Mr Bainimaram­a’s leadership.

“We need to get Mr Bainimaram­a back in our journey because he is the only leader who could take us forward.

“Before, I used to walk eight hours from Nabulini to my wife’s village, but now the digger has reached her village.

“Please, I urge you to vote for Mr Bainimaram­a on December 14.”

Dr Waqainabet­e got 743 votes in the 2018 General Election, majority were from the Central Division followed by the Western Division.
