Cerita Aswin Kasim,Warga Gorontalo Terima Sembako dari Jokowi saat Kunjungan di RS Toto Kabila

TRIBUNGORONTALO.COM, Gorontalo – Cerita Aswin Kasim (52), warga Paguyaman, Kabupaten Boalemo, Provinsi Gorontalo yang menerima paket sembako dari Presiden Jokowi saat berkunjung ke Rumah Sakit Toto Kabila pada Senin (22/4/2024).

Aswin Kasim mengaku senang dan bahagia menerima sebuah paket sembako dari Presiden Jokowi.

Memang sembako itu didapat bukan dari Jokowi, melainkan disalurkan melalui Ajudannya.

Kendati demikian, Aswin merasa sembako itu sudah cukup sebagai bentuk kompensasi karena tidak dapat berfoto dengan presiden.

“Susah bergerak ke sana. Dibatasin sekali, tapi engga apa-apalah udah dapat ini (sembako),” ucap Aswin kepada TribunGorontalo.com, Senin (22/4/2024).

Sekarang ia hanya tinggal berpikir bagaimana membawa paket sembako itu ke kampung halamannya.

Sebab ukurannya yang besar membuat agak sulit untuk ditenteng.

“Besar juga ini sembako, karena ada beras lima kilo, jadi berat sedikit,” tambahnya.

Tasya Niu, warga lainnya juga mendapatkan sembako dari Presiden Jokowi.

Ia mendapatkan sembako itu setelah mengeluarkan usaha yang ekstra dengan berjalan sambil berteriak meminta sembako ke petugas.

Beruntung dirinya mendapatkan sembako sehingga bisa bersenang diri.

“Senang sekali dapat ini sembako, ada banyak orang minta, tapi alhamdulilah dapat satu,” ucap Tasya.

Bagaimana tidak banyak yang dapat sembako, hanya beberapa orang saja.

Walaupun begitu, dia senang bukan main, sembako bukanlah tujuan utamanya.

Melainkan berfoto dengan Jokowi. Akan tetapi harapan itu harus pupus sebab Jokowi  hanya singgah sebentar kemudian bertolak pergi.

“Sudah tidak bisa berkata-kata lagi, terpenting harus foto dengan Jokowi. Ini kami mau ke Rumah Makan Miranti,” tambahnya sambil berlalu.

Presiden Jokowi bersama tim membatalkan rencana makan siang di Rumah Makan Miranti.

Sebab dirinya bersama rombongan langsung bertolak ke bandara Gorontalo kemudian terbang menunuju Sulawesi Barat.

Diketahui, Presiden Jokowi datang ke Gorontalo pada Minggu (21/04/2024) hingga Senin (22/04/2024).

Jokowi melakukan peresmian Bandara Panua Pohuwato, Jalan Inpres dan panen raya di Boalemo, tinjau bendungan Bendungan Bulango Ulu dan Rumah Sakit Toto Kabila di Bone Bolango.

Jokowi sempat bermain bola dengan para siswa dan mengunjungi mall di Kota Gorontalo.(*)
