The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has restricted official communication on behalf of the campaign to three designated officials as part of efforts to strengthen discipline, coordination and effectiveness in its public engagement.
Under the new arrangement, only the Director-General of the Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake; and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are authorised to speak officially for the campaign.
The decision was announced in a press statement issued on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, by the Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the Council, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.
Gbajabiamila said the changes were aimed at ensuring a more cohesive, disciplined and effective public communication structure within the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
He explained that all individuals previously announced as spokespersons or authorised representatives of the campaign would henceforth become members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
The council also directed radio and television stations to take note of the revised arrangement and comply accordingly when seeking official comments or representatives of the campaign.
It added that appropriate officials would be designated to represent the campaign at media appearances whenever necessary.
The reorganisation effectively centralises the campaign’s public communication in the hands of Yari, Alake and Idris, while retaining other previously announced media officials within the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
The directive is expected to streamline the flow of information, eliminate conflicting public statements and establish a more coordinated communication strategy for the APC presidential campaign.
