The wife of the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, Siti Atikoh, said that all citizens have the same rights and positions in the eyes of law and government. They should not have to be someone's children to occupy certain positions. This was conveyed by Atikoh when in touch with residents and community leaders throughoutJombang at the New Sedulur Estu Warehouse, Jombang, East Java, Sunday, January 28. Initially, he said that young people must still be able to excel even though they come from ordinary circles. "All Indonesian children who have an ordinary background can also excel," said Atikoh in his speech. Atikoh said that the achievements of a child are not determined by his family. “ This is an inspiration that we do give to the community not to be someone's son to occupy certain positions, ” he said. "All citizens have equal rights and positions before the law and government," continued Atikoh. Furthermore, Atikoh mentioned the work program of pair number three, Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD. One of them is related to education, namely One Poor Family One Bachelor. He said this couple believed this program could alleviate poverty. Because, after graduating, young people can improve their family's standard of living by relying on their knowledge.

"We don't want smart children who have high chances but cannot access higher education needs because of their parents," said Atikoh. "Hopefully later the child will be able to provide benefits to his family, society, nation and state," he concluded.
