SURABAYA - General Chairperson of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board, KH. Yahya Cholil Staquf said there was no reason or circumstances that would allow him to impeach President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"Well, what else? There is no business. Wong has no reason, no circumstances are possible and so on," said Gus Yahya at the East Java PWNU office, Surabaya, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, January 15.

Gus Yahya also asked all parties not to drag on in the issue of President Jokowi's impeachment. According to him, this issue was only raised by certain groups.

He also invited all parties to prefer to think about the future of the Indonesian nation.

"Never mind. Actually, this is just someone who makes the most of the issues. Let's concentrate on the future of the nation and state," he said.

The discourse of impeaching President Jokowi emerged after Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud Md received the arrival of a number of figures who were members of Petition 100 at his office, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Central Jakarta, Wednesday (10/1).

The 100 petition calls for the idea of impeaching President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Representatives of Petition 100 who attended included Marwan Batubara, Faizal Asegaf, Rahma Sarita, and Lt. Gen. Mar (Ret.) Suharto.
