Tuiteci claims he was verbally abused and threatened

Former proposed SODELPA candidate Seremaia Tuiteci has claimed that the General Secretary of SODELPA Lenaitasi Duru swore at him during a meeting held at their head office in Suva last Wednesday.

Tuiteci told fijivillage that the General Secretary had verbally abused him in front of the SODELPA Leader Viliame Gavoka

Duru confirmed in a press conference that Tuiteci has been terminated from the party.

Duru says SODELPA has been internally dealing with complaints they have received from senior party members and non-party members with the way Tuiteci had been handling himself on social media.

He says Tuiteci’s association with SODELPA has tainted the image of the party.

Duru says they had asked Tuiteci to come in so they could find a solution but it seems Tuiteci was not willing and is not a team player.

Police have confirmed that Seremaia Tuiteci has lodged a report at the Totogo Police Station and investigations are currently underway.
