SOLO - The Great Leader of the Tariu Borneo Bangkule Rajakng Red Army (TBBR), Panglima Jilah, met again with the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) at his residence at Jalan Kutai Utara Number 1, Sumber Village, Banjarsari District, Solo City, Central Java, Monday, August 10.

The meeting was held by the Jilah Commander to convey an invitation to Jokowi to attend the Bahau Bide Bahana Bangkule Rajakng's big traditional event which will be held on August 22, 2026.

The Jilah commander said his arrival this time was specifically to convey the invitation to the Dayak customary event.

The Jilah commander emphasized that the Bahau Bide Bahana Bangkule Rajakng event was not part of the political safari activities around Indonesia which Jokowi started. According to him, this activity is purely a Dayak community adat event.

"This is only a special adat event. It has nothing to do with the agenda of Mr. (Jokowi) touring. This is indeed a special adat event," said Jilah.

He explained that Jokowi was invited because in addition to being a public figure, the former governor of DKI Jakarta has a close relationship with the Dayak community.

According to the Jilah Commander, the Dayak people have a great love for Jokowi. This is inseparable from the development carried out during Jokowi's tenure as president.

"The love of the Dayak people for him is very big. Because during his presidency, he built a lot there. That's it," he said.

When asked about Jokowi's response to the invitation, the Jilah Commander said the former number 1 in Indonesia welcomed the invitation.

He even said that Jokowi had confirmed that he would attend the Bahau Bide Bahana Bangkule Rajakng traditional event, which is scheduled to take place on August 22, 2026.

"He has confirmed that he will be present," he concluded.

The customary event is said to be a large meeting attended by around 20,000 people. Jokowi's presence at the Dayak customary event has also been confirmed based on the statement of the Jilah Commander after his meeting with the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia in Solo.
