APC Campaign Council Restricts Official Spokesperson Roles To Yari, Alake, And Idris

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has reorganized its media and communications structure, restricting the authority to speak officially on behalf of the campaign to three senior officials.

In a statement issued on November 11, 2026, and signed by the Chief of Staff to the President and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the Council, Femi Gbajabiamila, the party named 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, as the sole authorized voices for the Council.

According to Gbajabiamila, the restructuring was approved to ensure “more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement” by the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.

Under the new directive, all other individuals previously announced in spokesperson capacities have been dissolved into the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications as general members.

The Council also issued an advisory to radio and television stations to take note of the changes and act accordingly, adding that the campaign will formally delegate appropriate representatives for media appearances where and when necessary.
