APC Campaign Council Restricts Official Spokespersons to Yari, Alake, Idris
The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has restructured its Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications, restricting official public communication on behalf of the council to three designated officials.
Under the new arrangement, the campaign’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake; and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are the only officials authorised to speak for the council.
The council announced the changes 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.
It said the decision was aimed at ensuring “more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement” by the campaign.
The council further directed all individuals previously announced in spokesperson capacities to henceforth operate as members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
It also advised radio and television stations to take note of the new arrangement, stressing that the campaign would designate appropriate officials to represent it at media appearances whenever necessary.
The directive was contained in a statement dated November 11, 2026.
