Surabaya, CNN Indonesia –
Acting Mayor (Plt) Mayor of Surabaya Whisnu Sakti Buana meet the governor of East Java Khofifah Indar Parawansa at the Grahadi State Building, Surabaya, Friday (12/25).
Whisnu said that his visit on the second day of his service as interim mayor was to discuss the management of Covid-19 in Surabaya, as well as to re-establish coordination between the Surabaya city government and the East Java provincial government.
“So that this can be reconnected for government business. So that the Surabaya government and the East Java provincial government can reconnect,” Whisnu said after the meeting.
The meeting between the two was going well. Whisnu admitted that he had known Khofifah for a long time. The PDI-P politician even said that Khofifah was also close to his family.
“In fact, Ms. Khofifah and I have known each other for a long time. Also, she and my mother are close. Same with Bapak [Soetjipto Soedjono] also together. So we’ve known him for a long time, “he said.
The results of the meeting, Whisnu said, he and Khofifah agreed to jointly handle the spread of Covid-19 in Surabaya. Especially before the new year 2021.
“The most central in East Java is Surabaya. Especially before New Year’s Eve. We agreed earlier,” he said.

In the near future, he and Khofifah and Forkopimda East Java will tour Surabaya and revive the harsh village.
“Before, we agreed, InsyaAllah, for a difficult people, we will activate it again, perhaps later it will be with the Governor, also with the Provincial Forkopimda,” he concluded.
Previously, the Governor of East Java, Khofifah Indar Parawansa, had officially appointed the Deputy Mayor of Surabaya Whisnu Sakti Buana as Acting Mayor of Surabaya replacing Tri Rismaharini, who had been appointed Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia.
Whisnu Sakti’s appointment as Acting Mayor of Surabaya was marked by the issuance of the East Java Governor’s Job Order number 131/1143 / 011.2 / 2020. He said the decision was based on Interior Ministry radiogram No. 131.35 / 7002 / OTDA dated December 23, 2020, signed by the General Director of OTDA.
Plt’s appointment is controversial because Tri Rismaharini admits that he has not resigned as mayor of Surabaya. He stated that he had permission from President Joko Widodo to hold simultaneous positions.
