The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has restricted official communication on behalf of President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign to three senior officials.
According to Daily Trust, the decision was announced on Wednesday by the President’s Chief of Staff and the council’s Deputy Director-General for Administration, Femi Gbajabiamila.
The authorised officials are campaign Director-General Abdulaziz Yari, Minister of Solid Minerals Development Dele Alake, and Minister of Information and National Orientation Mohammed Idris.
Gbajabiamila said the restructuring was intended to ensure “more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement.”
Under the arrangement, previously designated spokespersons have been relieved of their roles and reassigned as members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
The council also directed television and radio stations to update their booking procedures to reflect the changes.
It explained that representatives would be assigned for media appearances whenever necessary.
The development represents a restructuring of the campaign’s communication strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections. Gbaj +1
