The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has restructured its media and communications operations, limiting the number of officials authorised to make official public statements on behalf of the campaign to three.
The decision, announced in a statement issued on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, and signed by the Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration), of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Femi Gbajabiamila, is aimed at promoting a more coordinated, disciplined and effective communication strategy.
Under the new arrangement, only the Council’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; the Minister of Solid Minerals Development and official spokesperson, Dele Alake; and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are authorised to speak officially on behalf of the campaign.
The statement clarified that individuals previously designated as spokespersons would no longer perform that role but would instead serve as members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
“All individuals previously announced in spokesperson capacities would henceforth become members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications,” it stated.
The Council also urged radio and television stations to take note of the new communication structure, adding that designated representatives would be made available for media engagements whenever necessary.
