Fiji Flooded with People by Josefa Iloilo's Side

Presidents Office Secretary Rupeni Nacewa says that Ratu Josefa Iloilo was not sick and was at the office everyday except on Sundays and public holidays. He said comments by the newly appointed review team leader for the Great Council of Chiefs Ratu Josateki Nawalowalo that the president was sick "was far from the truth and misleading."

"I am perturbed by reports that His Excellency the President is sickly. This particular news item is far from the truth and is misleading," he said.

Ratu Josateki yesterday said that Commodore Bainimarama instructed him to convene a meeting as soon as possible to appoint a Vice President because of Ratu Josefa's health status.

Well, when you surround the man with so many advisors, he was bound to eventually contract something. What do we speculate that to be? Fear. Fear of Bainimarama leading another coup d'etat against him. It's - or otherwise it's his Parkinson's Disease - left Iloilo shaking in his boots.
