Prabowo Praises Kapolri Suyudi at Muhammadiyah Event in Palu
Prabowo also said he barely knew Suyudi before appointing him as Kapolri in early October.
President Prabowo Subianto praised Kapolri Jenderal Suyudi Ario Seto as he opened Tanwir and the 114th Milad of Muhammadiyah in Palu, Central Sulawesi, on Friday (14/11). In his remarks, Prabowo described Suyudi as a figure who was “proud, reassuring, and calming.” On the same occasion, Prabowo said he did not know Suyudi well before the appointment. He said he had met him only once in the past belasan years, when Suyudi was still serving as kapolres. Prabowo said he did not immediately recognize the name of the general proposed for the Kapolri post. Suyudi was sworn in as Kapolri on 1 October, replacing Jenderal Listyo Sigit Prabowo.
