The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has dissolved all previously announced spokespersons and ruled that only three people will henceforth speak on its behalf: the campaign’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; Minister of Solid Minerals Dele Alake (official Spokesperson); and Minister of Information and National Orientation Alhaji Mohammed Idris.
In a press statement issued by Rt. Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the Council, the body said the changes were made “to ensure more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement.”
All earlier persons who had been authorized to speak in that capacity are to dissolve into the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications as ordinary members. Radio and television stations have been advised to take note of the new arrangement and act accordingly.
The campaign will designate appropriate persons for media appearances only when necessary. The reorganization effectively ends the previous multiplicity of voices and centralizes the Council’s public communication strictly under Yari, Alake and Idris.
