BANDAR LAMPUNG - KH Yahya Cholil Staquf (Gus Yahya) has been officially elected as the new PBNU General Chair replacing KH Said Aqil Siroj. Speaking for the first time with the status of Ketum PBNU, Gus Yahya said that the figure of KH Said Aqil was a teacher as well as a way for him.

"My thanks to my teacher, who educated me, galvanized and tested me but also paved the way for me and raised me, namely Prof. Dr. KH Said Aqil Siroj," said Gus Yahya at GSG, University of Lampung, Friday 24 December.

"I don't know if I will be old enough to repay his services. If this is called success, this is actually his success," he continued.

"If there is someone who deserves to be praised, he should be praised," he continued.

Gus Yahya briefly explained the dynamics that occurred during NU's 34th Congress. Maybe outsiders will be worried about all the knick-knacks, high tension during the statutory meeting and during the 34th NU Congress in Lampung.

"But in fact it is so enjoyed by anyone, that it is able to keep them awake for more than 24 hours since yesterday,"

"This is one of the blessings of NU that continues to be felt from generation to generation, we believe that the congress is a source of blessing for NU".

Indeed, the election for the chairman of the PBNU took place in a marathon. Even late in the day and in in the morning.
