JAKARTA - The candidate for governor of Jakarta, Ridwan Kamil, revealed the advice of former Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo to himself who will fight in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election when he meets in Setu Babakan, Jakarta. Ridwan Kamil said, Fauzi Bowo, who is familiarly called Bang Foke, asked him to become a leader who is trustworthy and loves the citizens of Jakarta. "Wejangan-wejangannya, satu, tentu harus betanaah ya jadi pemimpin, kedua, harus mencintai masyarakat dengan segala masalahnya. Karena tugas pemimpin kan membantu dan menyelesaikan masalah-masalanya, harus diecognisasi, menggatasin banjir utara tadi kita bahas ya, beberapa hal, sebagainya adalah tentang infrastruktur," ujar Ridwan Kamil di Setu Babakan, Rabu, 4 September. "Incidentally, I have knowledge, half of which I do not understand, about culture, about what is sociological in nature, was conveyed earlier," he continued. Ridwan Kamil admitted that he wanted to learn from Fauzi Bowo about Jakarta. Including the vision of Jakarta with an economic center. "Of course he has extraordinary experience," he said. Meanwhile, Fauzi Bowo said that his meeting this time with Ridwan Kamil in Setu Babakan followed the request of the governor candidate. As the previous governor, he only conveyed information about Jakarta.

"So there is indeed a request to meet from the candidates for governor and deputy governor candidates. Reflecting on my obligation to provide as much information as possible, providing information that I want to make is grateful, not okay. But my obligation is to provide as much information as possible regarding the history of the city of Jakarta, regarding infrastructure in Jakarta, regarding social culture, social, economic, and so on," explained Foke. "Hopefully there will be benefits," he concluded.
