The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has announced a restructuring of its Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications, limiting official campaign communication to three designated spokespersons.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the council, Femi Gbajabiamila, said the move was aimed at ensuring a more coordinated and disciplined communication strategy ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to the new arrangement, only the council’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, who serves as the campaign spokesperson, and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are authorised to speak on behalf of the campaign.
Gbajabiamila explained that all other previously designated spokespersons would cease operating in that capacity and would instead function as members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
He said the restructuring was designed to strengthen message coordination, improve public engagement, and ensure consistency in the campaign’s communication with Nigerians.
The APC campaign council also directed media organisations across the country to recognise and adhere to the new communication framework.
It noted that while only the three officials are empowered to issue official statements, the campaign may assign other representatives for specific media appearances when necessary.
The latest adjustment reflects the council’s efforts to streamline its information management structure and maintain tighter control over campaign messaging as political activities ahead of the 2027 general election gather momentum.
