HUMAS PEMKAB PIDIE
Roni Ahmad (56), popularly known as Abusyik, Regent of Pidie for the 2017-2022 period.
SIGLI, KOMPAS — Residents of Pidie Regency, Aceh Province, lost a figure, namely Roni Ahmad (56), popularly called Abusyik. The Regent of Pidie for the 2017-2022 period died on Saturday (27/4/2024), at 02.00 in the morning, at the Teungku Chik Ditiro Regional General Hospital, Sigli. The body of the deceased was buried in his village in Puuk Village, Delima District, Pidie.
Fadhullah, the Vice Regent of Pidie 2017-2022, stated that in recent months Abusyik has frequently gone back and forth to the hospital for treatment. Abusyik is reportedly suffering from complications of hepatitis and kidney.
"It's fun to be a leader who is close to the people. Even though he is an official, his life is simple. "He is also very humorous," said Fadhullah.
Abusyik and Fadhullah were elected as Regent and Deputy Regent for 2017-2022. They ran independently, outside of political parties. Abusyik is a former combatant of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) who, after the peace agreement, also played a role in politics in Pidie.

Fadhullah added that during his tenure as the regent of Pidie, Abusyik was very focused on issues related to agriculture and plantations. Programs related to agriculture and food receive greater attention. Pidie is one of the best rice-producing centers in Aceh. The same is true for other commodities such as durian, coffee, and melinjo.
Although he serves as a regent, he still often goes to the fields to carry out activities like any other farmer. "He is very focused on the issue of chemical fertilizers. He encourages farmers to use organic fertilizers," said Fadhullah.
During the administration of Abusyik and Fadhullah, Pidie was the host of provincial-scale events, namely the Aceh Quran Recitation Competition (MTQ) and Aceh Sports Week (PORA).
"We lost a character. He's a unique leader. "Abusyik builds an image with the jargon Pidie Meusigrak or Pidie Bermobil," said Fadhullah.
Abusyik was born in Pidie in 1968. He joined GAM and underwent military training in Libya. After the 2005 peace agreement, Abusyik was involved in political activities and was entrusted by the community to become a regent.
His first wife, Syarifah, passed away in a traffic accident in 2017. Abusyik then married Mahdalena. From both wives, Abusyik leaves seven children.
