He is urging Fijians to remain calm, stating that there is no cause for alarm.

“There may be speculations that are coming, maybe some opportunist I’m also warning you, this is not the place and the time as we are trying to move forward. We have the reconciliation from so many other institutions happening and look we do not want to go back to the past.”
