The Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo said that Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) had given birth to many figures who played a role in building the nation and state.

"There are many NU contributions, social, educational, health, social to political, all of them. Actually, the momentum for NU friends is to be able to contribute how to look to the future and get involved in it," said Ganjar, Wednesday, February 1.

Ganjar conveyed this at the commemoration of the Harlah A Century of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) in the Temanggung District Square which was attended by around 15,000 nahdliyin.

According to him, NU has extraordinary enthusiasm. NU's love for the state has also been stated in the song "Yaaa Lal Wathon".

"And there have been many examples, there are those who become presidents, ministers, public officials, businessmen and kiai as well as extraordinary ones who give peace to the nation's children. Always provide soothing lectures," he also said.

That spirit, he said, had been passed on to the next generation of NU.

"So we talked about Banser's activities to maintain the security of the surroundings, social and also help when there is a disaster. Children, madrasa students, they have high aspirations to become doctors, there are also wants to become politicians. This means that children under the auspices of NU have an extraordinary spirit," he said.

After conveying NU's important role in the nation, Ganjar immediately called two students and a Banser member to go up to the podium with a dialogue.

Barisan peserta apple pun buyar saat Ganjar turun dari podium dan berjalan menuju layar "Nyeruput Kopi Bareng". Kabuhan ibu-bubu pun berjuang foto dan berjaras dengan Ganjar. Situasi tersebut membuat para anggota Banser bergerak cepat membentuk baremitasi.
