Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says it is clear National Federation Party President Pio Tikoduadua is the child for using insulting words after Tikoduadua said that Bainimarama needs to grow up and behave like a leader instead of a child.

Tikoduadua said in a statement that every time Bainimarama is criticised he can only make personal attacks.

He said when SODELPA MP Anare Jale asked about provincial councils, Bainimarama said he was bitter about losing a council election.

The NFP President said when NFP criticises the government’s deportation of USP’s Vice Chancellor, Bainimarama says it’s about the NFP leader’s wife.

Tikoduadua said Bainimarama should understand that he is being paid by the taxpayers to lead the country.

Bainimarama says it must be hard for Tikoduadua to open his mouth to insult him as he has forgotten that the Prime Minister is the one who reinstated Tikoduadua to his post not once but twice and now Tikoduadua is a very ungrateful child.

The Prime Minister says first Tikoduadua’s boss calls Minister Rosy Akbar a motor mouth and then he insults him by saying for Bainimarama to grow up.

Bainimarama says whilst walking out of parliament last week they should have stayed out for good with his leader.

He says they should read in detail about allegations of how some appointments and recruitments were done at USP which was in today's Fiji Sun, and when they finish reading and since they love to sing they can mimic Ray Charles song ‘I’m Busted’.
