We hope that he, as a young leader, can continue to pave his way to expand leadership not only in Solo, but also in a wider scope,” said TGB after meeting Gibran at Loji Gandrung, which is the official residence of the Mayor of Solo, Wednesday (22/2).
TGB praised Gibran’s achievements while leading the City of Solo. He has seen many arrangements and improvements in Bengawan City since being led by the eldest son of Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).
“In simple language, Mas Gibran footprinthe t is clear. The marks are real, the performance can be seen,” he said.

“Thank you, Pak TGB, for your support. But I’m still waiting for a decision from the Ketum,” he said.
