All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has reorganised its media and communications structure ahead of the 2027 general election, restricting official campaign communication to only three senior officials.
The council announced on Wednesday that only its Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, who will serve as the campaign spokesperson, and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are authorised to speak on behalf of the campaign.
The decision, contained in a statement signed by the Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, is aimed at strengthening coordination and ensuring a unified campaign message.
According to the statement, the reorganisation is intended to guarantee “more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement.”
It added that all individuals previously announced as spokespersons would now function as members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications instead of speaking officially for the campaign.
The council also directed radio and television stations across the country to recognise only the newly designated officials for official campaign positions.
It explained that the campaign would assign other representatives for media appearances whenever necessary.
The latest restructuring comes as political parties intensify preparations for the 2027 presidential election, with campaign messaging expected to play a key role in shaping public opinion.
The APC has in recent weeks continued to strengthen its campaign structure while mobilising support across different parts of the country ahead of the polls.
