The province of Tailevu led by the chiefs from Bau today presented a tabua or whales tooth to the Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama to show their support to Bainimarama's leadership and to the government of the day.

Speaking on behalf of the Cakobau family which included Ratu Epenisa Cakobau, Ratu George Cakobau, Adi Samanunu Cakobau and the other chiefs from the Province of Tailevu, Ratu Tuakitau Cokanauto assured Commodore Bainimarama that his province is totally behind him to support what he has planned for the nation until the next general election in 2014.

He said everyone wants a change and a better Fiji and his chiefs have decided to present the tabua today to show their son that they will stand with him in the decisions he will make.

Commodore Bainimarama then received the tabua from the Chiefs of Tailevu and thanked the province for their support.
