Gus Yahya Responds To Cak Imin: The Doubtful Khofifah, Never A NU Management

SURABAYA - General Chairperson of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board, KH. Yahya Cholil Staquf said that those who doubted the 'to-NU' of the Governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa meant that they had never been administrators of the largest community organization in Indonesia.

"Those who doubt that Mrs. Khofifah's NU has never been a NU manager, it's dangerous," said Gus Yahya at the East Java PWNU office, Surabaya, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, January 15.

Gus Yahya emphasized that in the current presidential election contestation, it is not uncommon for people to just talk, although the truth is not necessarily true.

"If it's like this, people will say anything about it," he said.

Vice President Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin previously doubted Khofifah Indar Parawansa's 'to-NU' after expressing support for the Prabowo-Gibran pair.

This statement was made by Cak Imin after holding a meeting with breeders in Ponggok District, Blitar, East Java, Thursday (11/1)

According to Cak Imin, everyone with the ideology of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), must support him and Anies Baswedan.

"People who have NU ideology must be istiqomah to AMIN. I doubt the NU if they don't choose AMIN," said Cak Imin.
