FAJAR.CO.ID, JAKARTA- The Democratic Party has finally rejoined the government after being in opposition for more than 9 years in the era of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
Chairman of the Democratic Party, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said he was grateful to finally be part of the government.
AHY asked his cadres to be grateful regarding the position of the Democratic Party which is currently in the government of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
“After 9 years and 4 months of being more or less outside the government. At that time we acted as an opposition force and of course at that time there was no other choice for us to carry out such a role, and we acted as a good, responsible, caring opposition. “I want the country to be good, I want the government to be successful, I want the people to be prosperous,” said AHY at the Democratic Party DPP office, Central Jakarta, Friday (8/3) quoted from Jawapos.
AHY admitted that he was grateful to be appointed by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) as Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN). He ensured that he would be accountable for the trust he carried out.
“We are grateful for it as a form of trust that we must be responsible for physically and mentally,” said AHY.
AHY asked, not to look at the remaining time period of only eight months. However, he appealed to see the quality of his performance in the remainder of President Jokowi’s administration.
“Don’t look at the duration, maybe some of your friends will hear ‘ah, Democrats only have 8 months, what are you going to do with 8 months’? Well, I’m one of those people who never looks at that time in terms of quantity, but in terms of quality,” stressed AHY.
