MAKASSAR - The Governor of South Sulawesi (Sulsel), Prof. HM Nurdin Abdullah, hopes that security stability and political stability are maintained in his region. This stability is important to encourage economic growth affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"What I need is South Sulawesi's political stability must be good, Makassar's security stability must be good, because there is a big job before our eyes is economic recovery. Second, protecting the community from COVID," said Nurdin Abdullah, Thursday, November 12.

According to Nurdin, the key to political stability lies with each pair of candidates who must maintain security during the political contestation. Because, if each pair of candidates wants to win in an honorable way, they must respect the Pilkada process.

"I think the key lies in the candidate pairs. Want to win honorably, I think do the existing signs, do not provoke the public to make anarchists, respect the other candidate pairs," he said.

In addition, Nurdin had a special message for the State Civil Service (ASN) to be truly neutral in the Pilkada process. Because, if ASN participates in political contestation, this will make things worse.

"ASN is asked to be neutral, not to stir up the atmosphere," the governor ordered.

Especially for candidate pairs, to put forward the delivery of ideas to the community, so that people can choose based on the ideas of each candidate pair. This is because the Pilkada is an event to show ideas.

"We convey the idea so that people have dreams. If I choose person A, it will be like this. The city will be like this. If I choose person B it will be like this, I think that. It's not that we weaken each other. So, this is a festival of ideas. What remains, who can convince the people who will be elected, "said Nurdin.
