The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC‑PCC) has tightened its media policy, limiting the right to speak on the campaign’s behalf to just three officials. The change, announced in Abuja on Wednesday, is part of a broader reorganisation of the council’s media and communications structure.
Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director‑General (Administration) of the council, Femi Gbajabiamila, issued the statement titled “Reorganisation of Media and Communications Structure.” He said the council had approved the new arrangement to “ensure more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement.”
“The Council has approved that only the campaign’s Director General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, as official Spokesperson; and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, will speak on behalf of the Council.”
- Senator Abdulaziz Yari – Director General
- Dele Alake – Minister of Solid Minerals, official spokesperson
- Alhaji Mohammed Idris – Minister of Information and National Orientation
Gbajabiamila added that all previously announced spokespersons would “henceforth dissolve into the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications as members.” Radio and television stations were advised to take note of the changes and act accordingly. The council also stated that it would delegate appropriate person(s) for appearances where and when necessary.
