SHADOW Minister for Defence Mosese Bulitavu claims Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama had accepted the cause of the 1987 coup.
He said Prime Minister Bainimarama was the Navy Commander in 1987 and he was called by the then Commander of the Republic of the Fiji Military Forces and was asked and offered the option of resigning.
Mr Bulitavu claimed the PM instead accepted the cause of the coup, along with Defence Minister Inia Seruiratu.
“I will respond to the Honourable Minister for Defence calling the Honourable Leader of the Opposition to resign,” he said.
Given that the Honourable Minister had joined the Royal Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) after the Leader of the Opposition’s 1987 coup, which he had embraced the ideals of the Leader of the Opposition, he had supported the cause of the 1987 coup,” he said.
“The Honourable Prime Minister too who was in charge of the RFMF in 2000 when the political instability took place.”
