The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council restricted official public communication to three officials on Wednesday.
Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General Administration of the council, announced the changes in a statement.
Under the revised structure, only Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the campaign’s Director-General, Dele Alake, the Minister of Solid Minerals serving as official spokesperson, and Alhaji Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, may speak on behalf of the council.
Gbajabiamila stated that the council approved the arrangement to ensure more cohesive, disciplined and effective public engagement.
All previously announced persons in spokesperson capacities dissolved into the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications as members.
Consequently, those individuals no longer hold separate authority to issue official statements for the campaign.
The council advised radio and television stations to take note of the changes and act accordingly.
It added that the campaign would delegate appropriate persons for media appearances where and when necessary.
Gbajabiamila explained that the reorganisation of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications aimed to tighten control over official messaging ahead of the 2027 elections.
The statement confirmed that the three designated officials would handle all public positions of the council going forward.
