Jakarta –
PBNU Secretary General (Sekjen) Saifullah Yusuf or Gus Ipul gave an appeal to NU members not to have partners supported by Ustaz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir namely candidate pair number 1 Anies Baswedan and Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin. Cak Imin gave a striking reply.
It is known, voice recording Abu Bakar Ba’asyir Supporting Anies-Cak Imin is circulating on the TikTok account @aniesvisioner. The news of Abu Bakar Ba’asyir’s support for Anies-Cak Imin was confirmed by Abu Bakar Ba’asyir’s son, Abdul Rohim. He also confirmed that the voice in the recording was indeed Abu Bakar Ba’asyir’s voice.
“Yes, that’s right,” said Abdul Rohim, who is familiarly called Iim, as reported by detikJateng, Monday (15/1).
“Yes, because he sees that of the existing candidate pairs, the only figure who can be trusted to lead Indonesia in the future is number one, that is his belief,” he continued.
Gus Ipul’s Appeal for NU Not to Choose Anies-Cak Imin
Gus Ipul initially reminded NU residents not to choose president carelessly in 2024. He also emphasized that they should not vote for the candidate pair supported by Abu Bakar Ba’asyir for several reasons.
“First, I hope that NU residents will come to the polling stations on February 14 to exercise their right to vote in order to elect Indonesia’s future leaders,” said Gus Ipul when starting his message to NU residents, reported by detikJateng, Wednesday (17/1 /2024).
“Well, from the existing candidate pairs, of course we have to look at their track records, and at the same time we also look at who their supporters are. Of course we appeal to NU residents to be able to vote and sort out who they think is worthy of being elected,” he added.
Then, Gus Ipul explained the reasons why he asked NU residents not to vote for the candidate pair supported by Abu Bakar Ba’asyir.
“Well, looking at Ustaz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir’s recording about the reasons for choosing a president, I think it’s different from the way we NU members use kiai to choose a leader,” said Gus Ipul.
Gus Ipul said that, indeed, NU residents were Muslims. However, Muslims in Indonesia live side by side with other religions. For this reason, Gus Ipul does not agree with Abu Bakar Ba’asyir’s statement.
“We are Muslim, but we also live in Indonesia. So we are different, we are different, we see it differently, of course NU people must be aware of this,” he explained.
Apart from that, Gus Ipul also admitted that he was concerned about the success team of one of the candidates who was developing bad discourses.
“I said yesterday that I appealed to NU residents not to vote for candidates supported by Ustaz Abu Bakar Ba’asyir. So that is a consideration for NU residents, and at the same time we want PBNU’s position to be well understood. We are concerned about the success team of certain candidates who think “It’s an error. The candidate should be approaching, embracing, this is actually developing discourses that are not good for NU,” explained Gus Ipul.
“There are even releases blaming Rais Aam, the General Chair, and so on, then there are also discourses about MLB of all kinds. This is something that is unhealthy, just not winning is like that. This is in order to protect and provide additional information,” he said.
