The APC Presidential Campaign Council has restricted official spokespeople to Abdulaziz Yari, Dele Alake and Mohammed Idris in a reorganisation announced on Wednesday.
Femi Gbajabiamila, the president’s chief of staff and the council’s deputy director-general for administration, announced the changes in a statement.
People previously named to speak for the campaign will become members of its Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications rather than continue in their former spokesperson roles.
Yari is the campaign’s director-general. Alake, the minister of solid minerals development, is its official spokesperson, while Idris is the minister of information and national orientation.
Gbajabiamila said the changes were intended to make the council’s public engagement more cohesive and disciplined.
The decision changes the campaign’s communications structure after Yari’s appointment to lead Tinubu’s campaign council.
Radio and television stations were asked to take note of the arrangement. The campaign said it would designate representatives for appearances when necessary.
