The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council has stripped its previously announced spokespersons of the authority to speak on behalf of the campaign, limiting official communication to three senior figures.
Under the new arrangement, only the council’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake; and Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are authorised to speak for the campaign.
The decision was announced in a statement issued on November 11 and signed by President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff and the council’s Deputy Director-General for Administration, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Gbajabiamila said the restructuring was approved to ensure “more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement.”
The statement directed all previously announced spokespersons to become members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications, ending their roles as official voices of the campaign.
It also advised radio and television stations to take note of the changes, adding that the campaign would assign representatives for media appearances when necessary.
