JAKARTA - The Nahdliyin Banten Youth Caucus assessed that the figure of Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD could be an alternative figure in 2024 from Nahdlatul Ulama (NU).

"We appreciate Pak Mahfud MD's courage because he was able to uncover various major cases and currently has the trust of President Joko Widodo to become the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs," said Nahdliyin Banten Youth Caucus spokesman Herdy Aldiansyah, Friday, August 19, quoted from Antara. Mahfud MD's courage played a big role in taking firm action against obligors or debtors who received funds from debtors who received BLBI funds.

According to Herdy, Mahfud MD is considered to be able to solve the nation's problems, such as overcoming the BLBI problem related to obligor receivables which the state has collected trillions of rupiahs of.

"I think Mahfud MD's decisive action can save state money for the BLBI case," said Herdy.

"The case of the death of Police Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J attracted the wider community because initially it was said that a shootout occurred," he said. "Mahfud's courage is not in doubt to reveal the Ferdy Sambo murder case in the internal police," he said.

Because of this integrity, he said, he and his fellow Nahdliyin Youth gave full support for what Mahfud MD had done so far. "We and the Banten Nahdliyin Youth Caucus support Mr. Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD as a nahdliyin cadre to become an alternative figure in 2024," he explained.
