Gerindra politician Ahmad Riza Patri admitted that he was called by the Daily Chair of the Gerindra Party, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad and Gerindra Chairman Prabowo Subianto to become the chairman of the Ridwan Kamil-Suswono (RIDO) success team.

"I am grateful and grateful for the personal names and the Gerindra party because this is our opportunity to become a successful team pair from RIDO. I was called by Mr. Dasco, Mr. Prabowo, and Mr. Ridwan Kamil and other leaders," said Riza after the Unloading of Ridwan Kamil's Aspiration (BARK) event in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Saturday.

In the telephone, Dasco, Prabowo, and Ridwan Kamil advised to involve all elements of the people of Jakarta and all community groups to be active in the success of the 2024 Pilkada.

"Not only winning the RIDO pair but also overseeing future development," said Riza.

Riza admitted that he had formed the composition of this timses with 15 parties supporting the RIDO pair by involving figures from the millennial generation or from among young people.

The involvement of young people in the timses structure, said Riza, aims to provide them with the opportunity to be creative.

"Bang Emil will provide more opportunities for young people who are smart, cool, creative. Hopefully the handsome, the beautiful and those who have integrity to help win the RIDO pair," said Riza.

On that occasion, Riza also believed Ridwan Kamil could bring Jakarta even better and create a proud global city.

According to Riza, Ridwan Kamil has the ability to build Jakarta based on his education and experience.

In addition, according to Riza, RK is also a figure who has opened a space for dialogue, discussion, manners, good, friendly, wise, and has become a leader who always prioritizes dialogue.

"Regarding the community, there are still pros and cons, that is democracy that we must respect, we respect. In the end, I believe that Jakarta residents will be happy, fall in love and are proud of Emil and Bang Suswono," said Riza.

Riza hopes that the people of Jakarta can become a society that is smart, critical, and determines leaders who can have an open dialogue. In fact, for Riza, a smart leader is not an arrogant leader.

"Hopefully there will be no intentional intention, later the public will see first-hand whether if there is a rejection because it is purely because they do not know, is there an element of intent. Hopefully there will be no intentional element and we are sure everyone because they don't know yet," said Riza.

Riza believes that if the community will get to know Ridwan Kamil more closely during the campaign, interact directly, then the public can share their confidence with the RIDO pair and not choose to abstain.

Convince Jakmania to love RK

Furthermore, Ahmad Riza believes that Jakmania will love Ridwan Kamil if he is elected governor of Jakarta 2024-2029. Riza said, Ridwan Kamil-Suswono will meet Jakmania's expectations.

"I am sure that Jakmania will eventually feel, believe and love Emil as governor. Because as Jakmania hopes, he wants to be actively involved in JIS management," said Riza.

Riza emphasized that the promise would be kept by RK, not just empty promises.

"So Bang Emil will provide the widest opportunity for Jakmania not only to use JIS. But also to be actively involved in management," said Riza.

In addition, Riza said that JIS would later become a home base for Persija.

"It was his promise (JIS became Persija's home base), in the past Persija had a field in Menteng, now it is Menteng Park. And the stadium was promised, and now there is a stadium," explained Riza.
