The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has disbanded its previously announced team of spokespersons, restricting official communication on behalf of the 2027 campaign to three senior officials.
Under the new arrangement, only the campaign’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake; and Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are authorised to speak on behalf of the Council.
The decision was announced in a statement dated November 11, 2026, and signed 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 reorganisation was designed to ensure greater coordination, discipline and effectiveness in the campaign’s public engagement.
He stated, “To ensure more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has made some changes to the structure of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.”
The statement further clarified that all individuals previously announced as spokespersons would no longer operate in that capacity but would instead become members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
“All previously announced persons in this capacity shall henceforth dissolve into the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications as members,” the statement said.
The Council also directed radio and television stations to take note of the changes and comply with the revised communication structure.
“Radio and TV stations are hereby advised to take note of these changes and act accordingly. The campaign will delegate appropriate person(s) for appearances where and when necessary,” Gbajabiamila added.
The latest move effectively centralises the campaign’s official messaging under Yari, Alake and Idris, while other members of the media directorate may only represent the Council at media engagements when specifically delegated.
