Surabaya, CNN Indonesia –
Whisnu Sakti Buana finally spoke about the attitude of his older brother Jagad Hari Suseno, who defected the decision Fight POI from Surabaya Elections 2020.
Jagad is also listed as a PDIP cadre. However, he chose to support Surabaya’s No. 2 mayoral and deputy mayor candidate Machfud Arifin-Mujiaman Sukirno, instead of PDIP-promoted No. 1 candidate Eri Cahyadi-Armuji.
Whisnu, responding to his brother’s attitude, said that he would fix it after the Surabaya Pilkada ended. He compared the Surabaya Pilkada to a war.
“In a battle, when the war drums sound, we must confidently go to win, our family affairs will be resolved after the war,” said Whisnu, who served as deputy mayor of Surabaya during the two terms, on Sunday (15 / eleven).
Whisnu said that when he attended the Surabaya City PDIP DPC Consolidation Meeting. The consolidation was also attended by the general secretary of the PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, Puti Guntur Soekarno, the ranks of the PDIP DPD of East Java and Eri Cahyadi.
On that occasion, Whisnu also denied his brother’s claim that his entire family unanimously supported Machfud.
He reiterated that he was willing to fight to win the PDIP. Family problems, he said, could be solved later.
“Trouble at home, when the war drums sound, go to the battlefield, come home with a victory. Then we finish matters at our homes,” he said.
He then spoke about the advice of his late father, Soetjipto, a top PDIP cadre known to be close to Megawati Soekarnoputri. During his life, Mega trusted Soetjipto as the Secretary General of the President of the PDIP DPP. He also served as Vice Chairman of the MPR RI and Member of the Indonesian Parliament for the PDIP faction.
“Yes, my father always reminded me first, if you want to be brave enough to be a leader, when the spear hits your leg, don’t scream in pain because you think it hurts,” he said.
“This means that a leader must not complain, have nothing to complain about, much less think about losing. Our thoughts must still win and we must spread it among all party cadres within,” he said.
Meanwhile, Eri Cahyadi said he was happy with Whisnu Sakti’s statement of support. In the consolidation above, Eri even mentioned that Whisnu was appointed to be the commanding leader of the PAC PDIP, to win himself over with Armuji in Surabaya Pilkada.
“I am more excited about the results of today’s evaluation because Mas Whisnu had become their leader, all friends of the PAC to move everything, so he ordered to be their commander,” said Eri.
Former Surabaya city director Bappeko said Whisnu was like his own brother. With that support, he also admits that he will have more and more confidence in winning the Pilkada contest on December 9.
“If it moves I will feel more comfortable and have more confidence. And God willing, the PDIP will win in the future,” he said.
Jagad Hari Suseno, brother of Surabaya Deputy Mayor Whisnu Sakti Buana, has expressed his support for Surabaya Mayor Candidate and Deputy Mayor of Surabaya number 2, Machfud Arifin-Mujiaman.
Seno’s election, as he is often called, contradicts the official PDIP decision in favor of Eri Cahyadi-Armuji at the 2020 Surabaya Pilkada.
“Everyone has the right to be a politician [Machfud] is a good person. My family and I support him, and we pray for him that Allah SWT bless the one who aspires to be the mayor of Surabaya, “said Seno on Tuesday (11/10).
