BLORA - Hundreds of residents and traders spilled over on Jalan Randu Blatung, Cepu District, Blora Regency to welcome President Joko Widodo's arrival at Mulyorejo Market, Friday, December 17. The buying and selling activities automatically stopped and the people scrambled to greet the President.

"Sir, Pak Jokowi... I want to shake hands with Pak Jokowi," said a mother while fighting for the best position.

Jokowi is back on a work trip to Central Java. This time, Jokowi visited Blora Regency as well as tested and inaugurated Ngloram Airport, Cepu, Blora using the ATR 72-600 aircraft.

Jokowi was at Ngloram Airport for about an hour. From the airport, Jokowi, who is planned to leave for Ngawi, East Java, stopped by to greet traders and residents at Mulyorejo Market, Cepu, Blora Regency.

When the series of vehicles arrived, the people waiting on the side of the road immediately scattered. The market area which is on the edge of Randu Blatung road has become a sea of people.

In the midst of hysteria welcoming Jokowi, the concentration of the masses was broken when Governor Ganjar Pranowo, who was accompanying Jokowi on his work tour, passed by.

"Wow, ana sir gangar, sir mriki sir, salim. Sir, take a photo with sir," shouted the residents in reply.

Ganjar, who walked without letting go of his wife's hand, Siti Atikoh, also complied with the residents' requests. Like a magnet, residents who could not directly greet Jokowi immediately approached Ganjar.

"Come on, here's why the cellphone is dead," joked Ganjar teasing the residents who grabbed their cellphones for wefies.

Ganjar continues to be surrounded by residents who want to take pictures or just shake hands with him. Not a few also prayed for Ganjar's health. The number one person in Central Java gave up. But occasionally, Ganjar reminded residents to wear their masks properly.

"Come on, let's take a photo, cake mask dinggo. Come on, mask, dinggo sik. Wis gek ndang crack crek snap," said Ganjar before re-entering the series of President Joko Widodo's kunker vehicles.
