Rusli Habibie is an Indonesian politician and former governor of Gorontalo. Habibie requested that if schoolteachers smoke on school grounds, then people should send him photos of the offender via WhatsApp so he can reassign them to schools in more remote areas of the province as punishment.[https://en.tempo.co/read/news/2017/10/29/055912740/Smoking-Teachers-in-Gorontalo-To-Be-Re-assigned-in-Remote-Areas Smoking Teachers in Gorontalo To Be Re-assigned in Remote Areas]. Tempo, 29 October 2017. Accessed 13 February 2018.

Habibie's election was significant due to questions over his legal eligibility. He had previously been convicted of defamation of the province's former police chief and was still on probation at the time of the election.{{Cite web |last=Suhari |first=Syamsul Huda M. |date=3 February 2017 |title=Convict Rusli Habibie runs for office in Gorontalo |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/02/03/convict-rusli-habibie-runs-for-office-in-gorontalo.html |access-date=2023-11-07 |website=The Jakarta Post |language=en}} He is the nephew of the third president of Indonesia, B.J.
