SOLO - A number of banners with pictures of the Mayor of Surakarta Gibran Rakabuming Raka with the Speaker of the House of Representatives Puan Maharani appeared at a number of points in Solo Raya, including in the Kartasura area, Sukoharjo Regency, and several points in the City of Solo, Central Java.

Reported by Antara, Monday, June 20, the banner that was installed was in the name of Projo or Pro Jokowi volunteers. On the banner was written Puan with Gibran from Solo Raya for Indonesia.

In this regard, Gibran is efficient in responding. He also only learned of the existence of the banner after an acquaintance sent a photo to him.

"Yes, just ask the one who puts up the banner, I already know (regarding the installation of the banner)," he said.

Regarding the message of support implied in the banner, he also refused to respond.

"It's okay, I also don't know who installed it, when it was installed, how come it was suddenly installed like that," he said.

Regarding the possibility of Gibran running in the next Presidential Election, he does not want to assume.

"I focus on Solo first, focus on the ASEAN Para Games," he said.

Meanwhile, one of the Linmas officers from Ketelan Village, Banjarsari District, Solo, named Nimo, said he did not know when the installation was carried out.

"Yesterday it wasn't there, when I was on duty there it wasn't there. I left for work at 08.00 WIB, it was already there," he said.

Projo: Black flyer

When confirmed regarding the installation of the banners, the chairman of the DPC Projo Solo, Tego Wigati, said that he had never put up any banners.

"We are following the directions of the central management and the Board of Trustees (Projo) Mr. Joko Widodo. We are waiting for the results of the people's deliberation and waiting for Mr. Jokowi's instructions. To support, we do not dare," he said.

According to him, the installation was also impossible for other Projo members.

"It's impossible because everything is perpendicular to the DPP. The symbol (banner) is black, yes, we have red. I consider it a black leaflet because the Projo Surakarta DPC never felt like putting it up," he said.
