Ario Bimo Nandito Ariotedjo or Dito Ariotedjo has not confirmed his attendance at the peak commemoration of the 42nd National Sports Day at the POPKI Cibubur Sports Arena , after being honorably dismissed as Minister of Youth and Sports by President Prabowo Subianto.
"I don't know yet. We'll just have to wait and see," Dito told reporters at the Ministry of Youth and Sports office in Senayan, Jakarta, on Monday night.
Dito admitted that he received information regarding the reshuffle on Monday morning, before it was finally announced that afternoon.
"We received information this morning that the inauguration would be scheduled for this afternoon. The inauguration of the new Minister of Youth and Sports was supposed to take place earlier, but it seems the Minister of Youth and Sports is still waiting for his candidate," he said.
Dito added that President Prabowo expressed his appreciation for his nearly three years of service at the Ministry of Youth and Sports. He hoped his successor would continue the programs he had pioneered, including improving the sports ecosystem and youth movements.
"Alhamdulillah, today I complete my term as Minister of Youth and Sports under the leadership of Mr. Prabowo-Gibran. Earlier, the President expressed his appreciation and gratitude. God willing, a new replacement will be announced soon. Hopefully, he can continue what we have done and what we have not yet completed," Dito added.
