The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has restricted the number of officials authorised to speak on its behalf to three as part of a reorganisation of its media and communications team.
Under the new arrangement, the council’s Director-General, Abdulaziz Yari; Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake; and Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are the only officials authorised to speak for the campaign.
The Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the campaign council, Femi Gbajabiamila, announced the changes in a statement on Wednesday.
He said the reorganisation was aimed at promoting “more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement”.
The statement added that all individuals previously announced as campaign spokespersons would now serve as 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 with the new guidelines.
It explained that designated representatives would be assigned to appear on media platforms whenever necessary.
The development marks a change in the campaign council’s communication structure, with public statements now expected to come through the three approved spokespersons.
