The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has dissolved its previously appointed team of media representatives, restricting official communication strictly to three designated principal leaders.
Going forward, only the Director-General of the Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake; and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are authorized to issue official statements or speak on behalf of the campaign.
The reorganization was announced in an official statement released by the Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the council, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Key Operational Changes
Exclusive Media Mandate: Official communications are restricted solely to Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Dele Alake, and Mohammed Idris.
Reassignment of Former Spokespersons: All individuals previously assigned media speaking roles have been reassigned as regular members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
Ad-Hoc Broadcast Appearances: Additional representatives will participate in media programs only when specifically assigned for particular engagements.
Objectives of the Media Realignment
According to Gbajabiamila, the central decision to overhaul the campaign’s communication architecture aims to enforce a “more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement.”
The campaign council formally advised television networks, radio stations, and print/digital publishers to align with the updated communication structure.
The strategy effectively eliminates overlapping public statements, centralizing all campaign narratives under the three-member panel.
