Ustaz Adi Hidayat (ANTARA)

This was conveyed by Adi Hidayat regarding the viral issue of even UAH replacing Gus Miftah as President Prabowo Subianto's envoy for religion.

In the clarification video uploaded on the Adi Hidayat Official YouTube channel, UAH admitted that he had received congratulations from people because he thought he was really appointed as the presidential envoy to replace Gus Miftah.

"Through this video, I want to convey that the issue is not true," said Adi Hidayat, Wednesday, December 11.

According to Adi Hidayat, many people are more worthy of being the president's envoy than himself. President Prabowo Subianto, he said, has the right to determine who is the best to be his envoy.

"Mr. President with full prerogative ownership will be able to determine more," said Adi Hidayat regarding the issue of him replacing Gus Miftah.

Adi Hidayat said he was still enthusiastic about praying for the best for the country and nation, as well as supporting Prabowo's government programs.

Adi Hidayat also clarified about the viral fundraising on behalf of himself after the excitement of the Gus Miftah case with the seller of Sunhaji tea ice.

"I've never raised the funds in question. It's not our account. We only have one account on Adi Hidayat Official's social media," he said.

Adi Hidayat meminta aparat penegak hukum bisa bertindak jika kegiatan penggalangan dana itu dirasa melanggar hukum.

Diketahui, Gus Miftah Maulana mengundurkan diri dari jabatan utusan khusus presiden bidang kerukunan beragama dan pembinaan sarana keagamaan, setelah viral diduga menghina penjual es teh Sunhaji.

President Prabowo is now looking for a figure who will fill the vacant position left by Miftah Maulana. Then viral Adi Hidayat will replace Gus Miftah as the president's envoy.
