JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party agreed with the statement by the General Chairperson of Projo Budi Arie, who said that President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) support for General Chair Prabowo Subianto was not a pleasant thing.
The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, assessed that the president's support was in line with Prabowo Subianto's work as Minister of Defense (Menhan) which was considered quite satisfactory.
"Of course we also don't see it as a pleasant, why? Because of Pak Jokowi's support for Pak Prabowo, both as Minister of Defense, has been fully supported. In the event that Pak Prabowo carries out his vision and mission and programs at the Ministry of Defense, we also feel that," said Dasco at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Friday, November 18.
Dasco sees that President Jokowi's support for Prabowo in carrying out the Ministry of Defense program is carried out seriously.
"That's genuine support, because without serious support from the President, of course programs at the Ministry of Defense also cannot go well," said the Deputy Speaker of the DPR.
Therefore, added Dasco, Jokowi's support will be used as a spirit for other things. Included in the matter of candidacy.
"As for other support, I think there is also no intention of President Jokowi for pleasantries, but we also consider these supports as encouragement for other things," he said.
Previously, Pro Jokowi (Projo) volunteers assessed that President Joko Widodo's support for Prabowo Subianto was not just a pleasant thing.
"We see that Pak Jokowi is certainly not joking or satisfying many people with Pak Prabowo's statement that I do not need the blessing and I will also approve Pak Prabowo's next quota. I don't think it's a pleasant thing," said Head of Projo Budi Arie Setiadi in the Adu Perspective discussion, Wednesday, November 16.
Budi Arie also confirmed that his party supports Prabowo as a presidential candidate in 2024. He assessed that currently only Prabowo is known to have a presidential candidate ticket.
"Waiting for the coalition of parties, if the presidential candidate may be clear, the vice presidential candidate is not yet. The presidential candidate today is at least the only one who has a presidential candidate ticket, Mr. Prabowo," he said.
