Political observer Fachry Ali stated that Erick Thohir has a number of advantages that make the Minister of SOEs worthy of leading the nation. From the managerial side, international mastery and liaison of the millennial generation.

Facchry stated that Erick Thohir, one of the strong candidates for this vice presidential candidate, is a very worthy figure to lead this nation because of his managerial abilities. In addition, his relationship with the global world, mastery of the global world, and beyond, is quite good.

Facchry added another main thing that needs to be noted on Erick Thohir. At a young age, Erick was speeding up over the career structure of the business world. Erick Thohir also clearly had very little contact with the facilities of the New Order regime.

"When Erick entered the business world, the conglomerates created by the New Order countries had grown to bloom long before," said Facchry, quoted on Sunday, October 8.

Facchry also highlighted the success of Erick Thohir becoming the number one person for the 2018 Asian Games.

"When he was the Chair of the 2018 Asian Games, Erick was never in the country. This means that the entire career structure and business world he manages entirely abroad," he said.

In the context of Erick Thohir's demographics, he is a bridge between the generation of non-millennials and millennials, he is a non-productive bridge from the New Order, because he was born when the New Order began to concentrate its material power in the hands of the family.

The relationship with religious leaders, especially kiai, ulama and Nahdliyin residents Erick Thohir, according to Fachry, is also quite close.

"Erick is also well received in the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) environment. The reason is, Erick was once appointed as Chairman of the NU Century Commemoration Committee," he explained.

"In NU, the indications must be seen. One of the indications is that he is the chairman of the NU Century Committee. That's roughly the case. But we don't know one by one what they say, but in fact he is the NU Century committee," said Facachry.
