The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has restructured its media and communications team, restricting official public statements on behalf of the campaign to three designated officials.
Under the new arrangement, the Council’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake; and Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are the only officials authorised to speak on its behalf.
The decision was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
Gbajabiamila said the restructuring was intended to ensure more cohesive, disciplined and effective public engagement by the campaign.
He explained that all individuals previously announced as spokespersons would henceforth become members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications rather than speak independently on behalf of the Council.
The Council also advised radio and television stations to take note of the changes, adding that it would designate appropriate representatives for media appearances whenever necessary.
