The wife of the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, Siti Atikoh, denied that she was ambitious for helping her husband campaign through political safaris. He said what he did was just because he wanted to support the number three pair, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD.

This was conveyed by Atikoh during a meeting with the Malang Raya Regional Winning Team at Pondok Aspira Ahmad Basarah on Argo Kencana Street, Malang Regency, East Java, Saturday, January 27. Initially, Atikoh admitted that he heard that he was ambitious to want Ganjar to be the number one person in the country.

"How come, this one woman, really, is too aggressive, yes, is too hyperactive like that, because I have traveled all over Java, I have gone to Sumatra, including Manado. So East Java has twice, Central Java once, DIY, Banten, West Java, I have been around everything, including yesterday to Lampung, Palembang, Manado," said Atikoh, telling the accusation.

Atikoh then explained that he was motivated to move because he wanted the program brought by Ganjar-Mahfud for the community to be realized. After all, she feels a moral burden when she can't help her own husband even though many volunteers don't know her spirit.

"Friends of volunteers that those who don't know Mas Ganjar, who have never met Mas Ganjar, just fought extraordinarily. Whether physically, financially, they work together extraordinaryly because they are called so that this nation and country can be on track, so that this nation is strong," he said.

"Well, I'm his wife when I stay at home, stay at home, watch TV, or eat beans. Like that? Yes, you can't," continued Atikoh.

In addition, Atikoh also carried out political safaris because he wanted to see the people's struggles and absorb their aspirations. He said it was important for him to feel this way.

I also (want, ed) can really understand the struggle of all my friends. I can understand every drop of sweat, droplet of blood, whatever my friends face. Including, also the real problems faced by this nation and country, what is the struggle of the community, so that later we will not forget land, "said this mother of nature Ganjar.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the PDIP DPP Ahmad Basarah who was present at the event said it was not wrong for Atikoh blusukan. Because Ganjar's wife is a figure who loves the country so she is willing to help win the number three pair.

Moreover, Basarah assessed that there were no rules that were violated by the decline in Atikoh campaigning. "There is also no political ethics whatsoever to be restrained," said the legislative candidate for the Malang Raya electoral district.

"In fact, it gets strange when the husband is struggling, then the future first lady is only at home watching TV or eating kuaci, or eating beans. In fact, it violates the ethics of the struggle of husband and wife," continued Basarah.

Therefore, Basarah ensured that the volunteers and legislative candidates would support Atikoh's steps. "May God give strength, provide guidance so that they can educate the people they met during this task," he concluded.
