The former KSAL added that as a national soldier, his party was sad to see the many cases of intolerance, radicalism and anti-Pancasila understanding in Indonesia. In fact, the challenges of this nation in the future are very large and we need the unity and integrity of the nation's children.

"For this reason, it takes a leader who is brave and firm in fighting this understanding for Indonesia's sake to be more advanced," he said.

He also invited retired TNI Polri and all people who have the same vision and mission to support Ganjar Pranowo as president.

"There is no word resigning anymore, we have been trained asCUssant fighters who never give up. It's time for us to fight to take Pak Ganjar as the 8th president of Indonesia," he said.

Meanwhile, Ganjar Pranowo expressed his gratitude for the support provided by Gapura Nusantara. According to him, support is an energy that makes the spirit boil even more.

"Many generals today support me. I feel proud and say thank you. I am also touched, because our seniors really care and never stop to look after the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," he said.

Because not only support, but the spirit of the retired TNI and Polri who according to Ganjar is extraordinary. How do they fight for the consensus of the state so that the younger generation has a strong foundation in protecting the nation and state.

"Realizing harmony, respecting differences to achieve the ideals of this country. So as not to be disturbed by matters of different ethnicity, religion, race and group that have been agreed upon," he said.

With the agreement that has become a strong foundation, the next focus for the Indonesian people is on issues related to the progress of the nation.

"For example, about how to take advantage of the infrastructure that has been built by Pak Jokowi, how we talk about IKN must be completed, how the economy can recover and how the new economy can grow needs to be developed. If we can do that, then Indonesia's ideals as a big country can be realized," he concluded.
