“I also have been inspired by the present Leader of the NFP, Professor Biman Prasad for carrying on that proud tradition of the Party and for his leadership qualities shown by his tenacity in the Parliament to fight for an effective and genuine democracy which we could all be proud of and call our own. He believes in an inclusive approach to Government. He believes in listening, caring and delivering to the genuine concerns of all, including and more importantly to honour the rich culture and traditions of our indigenous people.”
MEDIA RELEASE
Robin Nair Joins NFP
Robin Nair announced today that he has joined the National Federation Party as a Member. After many decades as a professional civil servant both in the Fijian Civil Service, Australian Public Service and international organisations, Mr Nair described his first foray into the political arena as one to help build a new and better Fiji for all.
He said that he had wished to retire and pursue personal interests but he now believed that age, fatigue nor fear should be an excuse not to continue to serve your people; being true to one’s convictions.
He said, “I do not need a job but I cannot see my comfort coming ahead of the needs of our Fijian people. I hear them crying out, particularly at the grass roots level, for Change, Peace and Progress. Now is the time to make real promises of democracy, and with urgency. Fiji has defaulted, to date, on its promissory note for a democracy instead of honouring this sacred obligation. We cannot ever again subjugate our people to fear but we need to liberate them with the freedom of democracy, peace and progress.”
Nair said that he chose the National Federation Party as the best Party to lead us into the next Government because of its rich history of promoting the legitimate aspirations of all our people, always fighting for equality, social justice, democracy, and transparent and inclusive governance. The Party seeks to build a nation which has its foundation decency and intellectual, cultural and spiritual values. It is the only Party with a genuine democratic structure and of long standing.
He added,“I also have been inspired by the present Leader of the NFP, Professor Biman Prasad for carrying on that proud tradition of the Party and for his leadership qualities shown by his tenacity in the Parliament to fight for an effective and genuine democracy which we could all be proud of and call our own.
