JAKARTA - The general chairman of the Gerindra Party who is also the elected president, Prabowo Subianto, will attract some ministers in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet for his future government. He even asked President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) for direct permission.

This was conveyed by Prabowo in his political speech in the activities of the Cadre Apple and the Closing of the Gerindra Party Rapimnas at the Indonesia Arena, Senayan, Jakarta on Saturday, August 31, 2024.

"Sir, sorry sir, because you chose great people, some of them (will enter) my cabinet later," Prabowo said in front of President Jokowi.

Prabowo also said that he knew the tricks of these ministers. One of them, always precedes the president during visits to the regions because he doesn't want one plane.

"If Jokowi invites him, 'Allow me to go ahead, sir, I will pick you up later'. Not to pick you up, he is afraid to be invited," he said, greeted by laughter from the ministers who were present.

Still in the same story, Prabowo said, the ministers did not want to be on the same plane with Jokowi because they could not rest. You see, the former governor of DKI Jakarta always invites discussion of his ministers during the trip.

"Sir, it's scary if he invites him. Wow, this can't sleep. On the plane five hours of flying, five hours of discussion," said Prabowo.

"So, that's the reason. If you invite them, that's the reason, 'Mr. President we picked up in Merauke. It's already flown first, don't dare to fly with Pak Jokowi. You think I already know this," he said with a laugh.
