Speaking in the iTaukei language, Tikoitoga said a lot of trying situations developed over the years but the military managed to pull through.

He said God was leading them all the way and brought them to where they were.

Last week Military Chief of Operations Lt. Col Amani Suliano confirmed that Tikoitoga has started visiting all the military camps in the country

"Last week he visited the Land force command unit, the logistics support unit, the engineers regiment and the Fiji Navy, this week he started yesterday at the Army camp in Nadi and today he is now in Lautoka".

Bainimarama, has stepped down from the post of Military commander so he can launch his political party and contest the elections he has promised for September.Source
