PDIP Fires Gorontalo DPRD Member Wahyudin Moridu Who Went Viral 'Rampok Uang Negara'

JAKARTA - The PDI-P (PDIP) DPP dismissed a member of the Gorontalo Provincial DPRD, Wahyudin Moridu, who went viral because the video about 'robbing state money' was spread on social media. The letter of dismissal has been issued.

"Today the DPP issued a letter of dismissal to the person concerned," said the Chairman of the PDIP DPP for Honorary Affairs, Komarudin Watubun, to reporters, Saturday, September 20, 2025.

Komarudin said Wahyudin would also be dismissed as a member of the DPRD with an interim replacement mechanism (PAW).

"In the near future," he said.

This decision was made after Wahyudin was clarified by the Gorontalo Province PDIP DPD.

"The DPD has submitted a report to the DPP, requesting that organizational action be taken for its actions as well as the ethics and disciplined committee have recommended to the DPP," said Komarudin.

Furthermore, Komarudin reminded party cadres to be careful in their attitude. They will not hesitate to fire anyone who hurts the hearts of the people as did Wahyudin.

"On this occasion, I would like to convey to all party cadres from Sabang to Merauke, from Miangas to Rote Island, to maintain discipline, ethics, honor, authority of the party and their respective families."

"Do not let actions that injure the party, injure the hearts of the people. The DPP will take the same dismissal as did Wahyudin's brother," said Komarudin.

Wahyudin went viral on social media because of an upload showing him driving a car with a woman. Footage taken by the woman sitting next to him.

Wahyudin, still in the viral video, said that he would travel to Makassar using state money. He then made a statement in the public spotlight with a laugh.

"Today we are heading to Makassar to use state money. We will rob this country's money. We will spend it, so that this country will be poorer," said Wahyudin.

This viral video was then responded to by the Honorary Board (BK) of the Gorontalo Provincial DPRD. Reporting from era.id, Wahyudin's words were said in an unconscious or drunk condition.

"It is true that he was drunk drinking alcohol," said Head of BK DPRD Gorontalo, Fikram Salilama, Friday, September 19, 2025.

Fikram emphasized that Wahyudin's words remained in the category of ethical violations.

"We are sworn in to uphold statutory regulations, while he has issued words like that. To mention impoverishing the country, it is fatal," he asserted.

This attitude is also regretted and Wahyudin will be asked for clarification next week.

"The Honorary Agency will immediately move quickly to follow up," said Fikram.
