JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Nahdlatul Ulama Central Board (PBNU) has urged all state institutions to uphold the integrity and honor of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

This request was conveyed by PBNU Chairman KH Abdul Hakim Mahfudz, also known as Gus Kikin, who presented the organization’s statement in cooperation with Regional Nahdlatul Ulama Boards (PWNU) across Indonesia in response to the developments and dynamics in national politics.

"Nahdlatul Ulama calls on all state institutions to maintain the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, safeguard the honor of the nation and the state, and to take political steps that emphasize unity and uphold security and solidarity," Gus Kikin stated in a press release on Friday (13/11/2026).

Gus Kikin mentioned that NU, as the largest Islamic organization in Indonesia, consistently supports the government under President Prabowo Subianto's leadership.

"In our efforts to ensure security and achieve social justice for all Indonesian people," he added.

PBNU also highlighted indications of unauthorized surveillance against Prabowo as the head of state and government by irresponsible parties.

"To maintain the dignity of the head of state and uphold the supremacy of law, we support handling this matter and fully entrust the legal process regarding this incident to the Indonesian National Police in accordance with applicable regulations," he expressed.

In light of the current national political dynamics, PBNU also called on all components of the nation to constantly strive for unity.

"To preserve national stability and maintain unity for the sake of safeguarding the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," Gus Kikin said.

PBNU has urged all citizens to increase their remembrance (zikir), supplication (munajat), and prayers so that the nation and state of Indonesia continually receive the protection of Allah SWT.

"Protection from all calamities and various disturbances that could obstruct the smooth progress of national development under Prabowo's leadership," he concluded.
