Suara.com – Presidential candidate number 2, Prabowo Subianto, has received full support from the Dayak community to continue President Joko Widodo’s (Jokowi) leadership relay.
This statement of support was made when Prabowo attended the Bahaupm Bide Bahana (Gathering) with thousands of the Tariu Borneo Bangkule Rajakng (TBBR) Red Troops at the Kluwi Cafe, Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Saturday, (20/1/2024).
Agustinus, Commander Jilah, who is the leader of the TBBR Red Army, said that support was given to Prabowo, because candidate pair number 2 was committed to continuing Jokowi’s program, especially the development of the National Capital (IKN) of the Archipelago.
“Because we know that Mr Prabowo is continuing his (Jokowi) program,” said Agustinus.
“We have high hopes that IKN can influence the development of the Dayak community, both in the quality of human resources and infrastructure development,” he added.
Apart from the IKN issue, the Dayak community through Panglima Jilah also conveyed a number of hopes to Prabowo. One of them is opening wider opportunities for Dayak children to pursue military education.
“So that we can pay attention to Dayak children in the selection to enter TNI and Polri education easily. We miss seeing generals from the Dayak tribe, in the future,” said Agustinus.
Receiving a warm welcome from the Dayak community, Prabowo also expressed his gratitude. He said the support that was given made a big impression on Prabowo’s heart.
“I want to express my gratitude very well. For me this means a lot,” he concluded.
