LEADER of Opposition, Matthew Wale, has conveyed his congratulations to the new Premier of Malaita Province, Martin Fini.
In a statement yesterday, the Opposition Leader said he is confident that with God’s wisdom and guidance, the new premier will perform to the best interest of his people and Malaita province as a whole.
“I congratulate the new premier and look forward to his executive’s policy priorities for the province,” he said.
Mr Wale said the new premier must represent the true views of Malaitans and not that of those who financed the motion and his election.
He said the Opposition Group looks forward to meeting the new Premier and his new executive once they settle down in office.
Meanwhile, the Opposition Leader also acknowledged the outgoing Premier, Daniel Suidani and the MARA executive for their leadership in the past three years.
He said former Premier Suidani has stood up against some of the most rebellious political battles from the national government and other foreign elements until his downfall recently.
“Suidani is the casualty of DCGA’s persecution of Malaita,” Mr Wale added.
