The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has named Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Dele Alake and Mohammed Idris as the only officials authorised to speak on its behalf.

The decision followed a restructuring of the council’s Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications, announced on Wednesday by Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu and the council’s Deputy Director-General (Administration).

According to Gbajabiamila, the changes are designed to strengthen coordination, discipline and effectiveness in the campaign’s public communication.

Under the new arrangement, Yari, who serves as the campaign’s Director-General, will be joined by Alake, the Minister of Solid Minerals, and Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, as its recognised voices.

Gbajabiamila clarified that individuals previously announced as spokespersons would no longer hold those positions.

Instead, they would 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,” he said.

The council also directed media organisations, particularly radio and television stations, to recognise the revised arrangement when seeking campaign representatives for interviews and public engagements.

It added that appropriate officials would be assigned to media appearances whenever necessary.

The restructuring effectively centralises the campaign council’s public communication under three designated officials, with the aim of ensuring a more consistent flow of official information.
