The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has reorganised its Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications to tighten control over official messaging.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the Council, Femi Gbajabiamila, announced the changes.

“To ensure more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has made some changes to the structure of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications,” the statement said.

Under the new arrangement, only three officials are authorised to speak on behalf of the council: the campaign’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, as official spokesperson; and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris.

“All previously announced persons in this capacity shall henceforth dissolve into the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications as members,” Gbajabiamila stated.

“Radio and TV stations are hereby advised to take note of these changes and act accordingly. The campaign will delegate appropriate person(s) for appearances where and when necessary,” the statement added.
