The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has reorganised its Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications, restricting official public communication on behalf of the campaign to three designated officials.
Under the new arrangement, the Director-General of the council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake; and Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, are the only officials authorised to speak on behalf of the campaign.
The decision, announced in a press statement on Wednesday 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 ensuring more cohesive, disciplined and effective public engagement.
Gbajabiamila said all persons previously announced to speak in official capacities would henceforth become members of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
He also advised radio and television stations to take note of the changes and comply with the new communication arrangement.
According to the statement, the campaign council will designate appropriate persons to represent it during media appearances whenever necessary.
