Called By Bawaslu Because Of Danny Pomanto's Complaint, The Governor Of South Sulawesi: Why Did I Get Called? I Never Offended People

MAKASSAR - The Governor of South Sulawesi (Sulsel) Nurdin Abdullah questioned the news of his summons by the Makassar City Bawaslu. The Governor of South Sulawesi, who is familiarly called Prof. NA, was also complained by the legal team for the candidate pair in the Makassar Pilkada M Ramdhan 'Danny' Pomanto-Fatmawati Rusdi (ADAMA).

"There is no (call), why am I being called?" South Sulawesi Governor Nurdin told reporters in Makassar, Wednesday, November 25.

Nurdin emphasized that he had never offended anyone. He also admitted that he never gave a statement to support one of the candidate pairs in the Makassar Pilkada.

“I never did anything. Have you ever spoken with me everywhere offending (people). It's a hoax, it's easy to report people, but the fact is, or not? ” continued the governor Nurdin.

"I have never offended anyone, never supported him, for example if he is B, I just don't know," said Nurdin.

Meanwhile, Sri Wahyuni, Coordinator of the Enforcement and Handling of Violations at Bawaslu Makassar, said that there was an invitation to clarify the South Sulawesi Governor and the Acting Mayor of Makassar Rudy Djamaluddin.

"But there has been no confirmation from him," said Sri, confirmed separately.

The ADAMA team previously complained about a recorded case containing directing support to certain candidate pairs in the Makassar Pilkada who was recognized by the Secretary of the Ujung Tanah Sub-district.

The legal team for candidate candidate Ramdhan 'Danny' Pomanto-Fatmawati Rusdi (Adama) reported the Governor of South Sulawesi (Sulsel) Nurdin Abdullah and the Acting Mayor of Makassar, Rudy Djamaluddin.

"We report on the matter of involvement of officials ranging from the governor, the acting mayor to the sub-district heads involved in the elections in Makassar," said Danny Pomanto-Fatmawati's legal team spokesman, Akhmad Rianto, contacted by VOI, Monday, November 23.

Makassar City Bawaslu has actually delegated cases of violations of ASN neutrality related to the Makassar Pilkada to the State Civil Apparatus Commission (KASN). The Secretary of the Head of Ujung Tanah Sub-district, Andi Syaiful, is suspected of violating neutrality due to an invitation to support certain candidates in the Makassar Pilkada. The Bawaslu said it was a personal act by an individual, and did not find a connection between the two names, namely, the Governor of South Sulawesi, Nurdin Abdullah who is familiarly called Prof. NA and Acting Mayor of Makassar Rudy Djamaluddin.

However, the ADAMA Legal Team, Akhmad Rianto, said that there was a recent development found. He explained the issue of the governor's involvement, the acting mayor of Makassar regarding the alleged violation of Article 71, paragraph 3 regarding involvement in campaigns that benefit certain candidate pairs.

"So what they are doing is related to the indirect instructions carried out by the governor in this matter and the acting mayor to order a certain number of candidate pairs, right that is not in the field," he explained
