The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has overhauled its media communication structure, limiting the authority to speak on its behalf to three senior officials.
Under the revised arrangement, only the council’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake; and Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are authorised to make official public statements for the campaign.
The decision, announced on Wednesday, November 11, is part of efforts to establish tighter coordination, consistency and discipline in the party’s public communication.
The council’s Chief of Staff and Deputy Director-General (Administration), Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed the changes in a statement, explaining that the restructuring was intended to make public engagements more coherent and effective.
As part of the reorganisation, individuals previously appointed as campaign spokespersons will no longer operate in that capacity but will be absorbed as members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
The council also directed radio and television stations to comply with the revised arrangement, stressing that it would designate appropriate officials for media appearances whenever necessary.
The development effectively narrows the campaign’s official communication channel, placing responsibility for public messaging in the hands of three designated figures.
It comes amid heightened political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the APC intensifies efforts to project the achievements and policy direction of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The council did not indicate whether the restructuring was connected to any specific controversy involving its previous media representatives.
