PBNU's Disconnected Communication With Cak Imin: No Communication Candidate, No Report
JAKARTA - The Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board has opened their voices about the dispute between PKB Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin and PBNU Secretary General Saifullah Yusuf or Gus Ipul.After holding the 2024 presidential election, Gus Ipul asked Cak Imin and PKB to return to the right path. This statement was replied by Cak Imin who defended Gus Ipul as an NU broker.The Commander of the NU Santri, Habib Umarsyah, saw that Gus Ipul's statement was true. Umarsyah revealed that Cak Imin did not show a good attitude to PBNU during the 2024 presidential election contestation by cutting communication."Muhaimin ran (cawapres) without talking, without uploading or uploading with PBNU, then many statements from Muhaimin and his staff were not good," said Umarsyah when contacted by VOI, Tuesday, February 27.After the presidential election was finished, Cak Imin said Umarsyah also did not meet PBNU, especially Rais Aam, who is the PBNU's next authority. In fact, PKB often reveals that its party is attached to NU."After the election, Muhaimin immediately took steps to neutralize the atmosphere. Positioning please. After the celebration, report with PBNU, ask for instructions, that's natural," explained Umarsyah.Previously, Gus Ipul invited PKB to return to the same lap and road as NU."Go back to the right path, namely the road that matches Nahdlatul Ulama," said Gus Ipul in a written statement on Sunday, February 18.
KH Abdurrahman Wahid alias Gus Dur's nephew reminded that as a party that has been claiming that its party is a NU citizen, PKB should immediately return with NU by being able to accept whatever the election results are." “ PBNU has accepted and let us both respect the election results. If PKB claims to be NU's party, let's cool the atmosphere together with PBNU," he said.
