JAKARTA - The senior comedian who is also a preacher, Abah Kirun, clarified the news that said he was being called Gus Miftah not to support one of the presidential and vice presidential pairs in the 2024 presidential election. Previously, news circulated on YouTube and social media which went viral and became public attention. It is narrated as if Abah Kirun received an envelope containing money from Gus Miftah. Through a short video to the media crew, Abah Kirun said the news was a lie. He admitted that Gus Miftah had never been called "He said Gus Miftah said it was a hoax, who made the narrative like this," said Abah Kirun in Javanese, Thursday, December 21. Abah Kirun said that his relationship with Gus Miftah had been established for a long time and was like his own family. He again emphasized that it was not true if there was a bribe. " “ I've been with Gus Miftah for a long time, I've been close, I don't need to be called a family. So, it just so happens that I'm here and Gus Miftah is there, then attacked irregularly with fake news,” he said. Furthermore, the comedian from Madiun invited all people to be able to campaign peacefully until the election took place. "Greetings to everyone, let's get along well, the one who is cool, don't beat. Gus Miftah must believe the taller the tree the stronger the wind. Blessings for Gus Miftah, a blessing for Kirun. Greetings one homeland, one nation, one Indonesian language. United, cool," said Abah Kirun.

Meanwhile, Mirza Maulana as the recitation committee attended by Gus Miftah and Abah Kirun in early November also stated that the video of Gus Miftah's accusation that seemed to give Abah Kirun an envelope not to choose one of the pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates was a big slander. "Gus Miftah and Abah Kirun both served as performers at our recitation. The brown envelope that I handed over ourselves was actually given to the students that I entrusted through Gus Miftah sincerely and voluntarily as our thanks for Gus Miftah's presence at our recitation. That was not given by Gus Miftah to Abah Kirun," Mirza said in his clarification video.
