Suara.com – Deputy Mayor of Solo, Teguh Prakosa, admitted that he did not know the interests of the Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who left for Newsdelivers.com on Friday (20/10/2023) afternoon. He stated that all this time he had never known about Gibran’s agenda for leaving.
“Pak Wali (Gibran) and his interests, I never know. Where he is going, I don’t know,” said Teguh, when met by journalists, Friday (20/10/2023).
Teguh then revealed that every weekend or Friday afternoon to Sunday evening he always attended activities arranged by the mayor. This, he said, had been done for a long time, namely since he served as deputy mayor.
“So every weekend activity is always handed over to me and that’s normal. Where he wants to go, at home or with guests or so on, it’s none of his business,” explained Teguh.
“My business is to work to serve the community in accordance with its domain. If we are given a task, we carry it out and that has been the case since I started as deputy mayor,” he added.
Furthermore, Teguh also does not want himself to be associated with the issue of Gibran becoming Prabowo’s vice presidential candidate. Meanwhile, he often replaces Gibran’s job during the weekend, which has also sparked public curiosity about his profile. The following information has been summarized.
