JAKARTA - The Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution, received an important position in the management of the Indonesia Offroad Federation (IOF). President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) son-in-law was appointed as the Daily Chair of the IOF Central Management for the 2022-2026 period.

He was included in the 64 people who were elected to help the General Chairperson of the IOF, Inspector General (ret) Sam Budugusdian and confirmed in Jakarta, last weekend.

Bobby said that offroad is not just an activity in terms of automotive. He considered, there are many things that are not just channeling the hobby of driving.

"We at the IOF, what Ketum said earlier, have three things. The success of the event is about humanity and economic driving," Bobby said in an official written statement, as reported by Antara, Monday, February 20.

"These three elements are in accordance with what we agreed on and this is also in accordance with the heart, so joining the IOF is not the wrong choice, this is also good for all of us, and the goals in this IOF can be further reproduced," Bobby explained.

Sam Budugusdian explained the reason for appointing Bobby Nasution as the Daily Chair of the IOF. He said there was input from fellow off-road activists.

"This is interesting, yes, Bobby's appointment as the daily chairman. Initially there were suggestions from friends (sir, there are figures who can raise the organization) and he is one of the off-road activists in North Sumatra. Okay, if he is willing, please later the younger generation, young people can become the daily chairman," said Sam.

"Because we have been in the same period and are in two terms, in the future we can cadre friends and can raise organizations. And can take part again for the community, with their respective backgrounds," he concluded.
