Concerns have emerged from the political top of the PDIP Panda Nababan regarding the relationship between President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Ketum NasDem Surya Paloh. The reason is that Jokowi is said to have an unusual revenge strategy.
Pandas say Jokowi can make unexpected moves. The movement in question is to carry out a kind of revenge.
“I’m frankly honest, I’m worried that the relationship between the two of them is not going well, between Jokowi and Jokowi SurjaI’m worried,” Panda told Total Politik on Saturday (11/19).
“Because if that happens, Jokowi is bad, his behavior is bad. He can make movements that we don’t expect. A kind of revenge,” he added.
In response to this, NasDem admitted that NasDem’s statement was like a potato chip. NasDem DPP chairman Willy Aditya thinks this is just a perception.
“As an elder and as a friend of Surya Paloh, he needs to freshen the mood, not stir things up, so Bang Panda said that,” Willy said when contacted.
“So these fried foods are delicious, but high in cholesterol, so that’s normal. The political dynamics are up and down, just faith sometimes goes up and down,” he added.
Panda takes revenge on Jokowi on Gatot
Panda shared his experience regarding the character of Jokowi. Lui said Jokowi at that time had an unfavorable relationship with the commander-in-chief due to one of the TNI anniversary events in Cilegon in 2017.
At the time, Jokowi had to walk to the anniversary event due to traffic jams. Iriana, his wife, also arrived when the event was over. Jokowi felt unappreciated at the time and ordered his subordinates to check his involvement in traffic control.
“This is what I tell in my book about Gatot, Commander. It means that he felt humiliated, he did not feel appreciated, at the time of the TNI birthday in Cilegon, he walked, took a taxi, what was his wife, then he told Pramono, Pratikno checked the police chief of Banten, no one was involved, verified that Korlantas was not involved, but Gatot told the president ‘I’m sorry Mr. President, people are overflowing because they love the TNI’, simply not regulate traffic,” he said.
Then, Panda revealed that Jokowi had a grudge against Gatot at that time. Revenge was originally performed on the wedding anniversary of his son Kahiyang Ayu and Bobby Nasution. At the time, Gatot wasn’t treated as special, Panda said.
“What I said was that I was ugly, ‘one day I will pay you back.’ The answer was that at that time it was his son’s wedding anniversary, which was Bobby, Tito wore red roses, Pratikno, Luhut all kinds to be committee members, he sat with his wife in those corners, even the greetings don’t have a red carpet, the Commander, still the Commander, ran it like that, it’s not considered,” he said.
“Suddenly the unexpected appeared, Moeldoko, giving a speech, Moeldoko told me that he too had to practice again in the room. In Solo, what does this play mean… he made a show of Moeldoko, the former commander in chief ,” he continued.
Even then, Panda said, Gatot had spoken to Prabowo Subianto and also Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan and asked them not to help Jokowi as president. It was said that at that time Gatot regarded Jokowi as a coachman.
“What I can read, the same as Prabowo talking to Luhut, ‘Brother, you don’t need to help the coachman, where can you help’, ‘Don’t say anything, you are smarter than you,’ said Luhut and Prabowo”, he said.
However, Jokowi knew about the conversation at the time and eventually arranged a 3.5-hour carriage event. Panda also said that Jokowi had the ability to hold grudges like that.
“Ouch, the carriage driver wants to be president.” Do you know what happened? He (Jokowi) held a carriage event, at the roundabout HI made a carriage, traveled 3.5 hours. So 3.5 hours on TV saw a carriage driver. He has this ability,” he said.
