Wali Koa Surabaya Tri Rismaharini (Risma) / ANTARA

SURABAYA - The Mayor of Surabaya, Tri Rismaharini, admitted that he is not eyeing the post of Minister of Social Affairs. However, Risma stated that she was ready if the Chairperson of the PDI Perjuangan, Megawati Sukarnoputri, was assigned to fill the position of Minister of Social Affairs.

"Therefore, why don't I dare again. Whoever says, if I get an order from Bu Mega, 'Bu Risma you are doing it, I'm just walking'," said Risma, Wednesday, December 16, 2020.

Risma again emphasized that he never even asked for the position of Social Minister. Because according to him, the position of Minister of Social Affairs has a heavy responsibility.

"But I'm not the one who asked, or I want it. If I'm the one who wants, I'm afraid of it, because millions depend on the aid. If I'm wrong it's very dangerous, I have to answer to God, opo," said Risma.

Risma also confirmed that Megawati Soekarnoputri, the Chairperson of the PDI-P has not given her any orders, especially regarding the Minister's issue, which the media has been discussing for several days.

"Not yet. Because the pilkadanya (Pilkada Surabaya 2020) has not yet been completed," he said.

According to Risma, the work of the Minister of Social Affairs is very hard. Because millions of people in Indonesia are very dependent on the Minister of Social Affairs. That is the reason for not having the ambition to become Social Minister, unless he does get an assignment from Megawati Soekarnoputri.

"So that's why I don't dare at all, whoever influences me, I don't dare to think about it, because it must be a tough task. Because millions of people depend on it, starting from aid, PKH, what, what, it must be hard. I didn't think, I didn't ask, surely God will help me when I'm having a hard time, "said Risma.
