Ridwan Kamil as the IKN Development Curator said President Jokowi always looked very cheerful if he was spending the night at IKN.

"What does this indicate? Atmosphere, there is a spirit of optimism to see dreams come true, the sinking is also in the middle of the forest, if a lot of trees are oxygen going down, so they are more relaxed, accompanied by entertaining people too. There is Mr. Bahlil, there is Mr. Erick, I sometimes like to be funny too, it turns out to be expensive," said Ridwan Kamil.

"Indeed taking care of the country is tough, but there must be relaxed moments. You often laugh freely, extraordinary. So, I think this historic event is in my memory," he continued.
