The All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council says it has restructured its presidential campaign council, restricting its spokespeople from speaking on its behalf, except for three individuals.

In a statement on Wednesday, chief of staff to the president and deputy director-general (administration) of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Femi Gbajabiamila, said the council had revised the structure of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications to ensure more cohesive, disciplined and effective public engagement.

“The council has approved that only the campaign’s Director-General, Abdulaziz Yari; the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dele Alake, as official spokesperson; and the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, will speak on behalf of the council,” the statement said.

According to the statement, all previously announced spokespersons will now be absorbed into the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications as members.
