Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is reorganising its 2027 election campaign communications by limiting official spokesperson roles to three people. Coverage reports that the APC campaign structures its media authority around a small, named set of representatives, while removing or dissolving previously announced spokesperson appointments.
Several outlets say the APC Presidential Campaign Council has instructed that only Abdulaziz Yari and Dele Alake, along with Mohammed Idris (sometimes referenced as a third authorised speaker), may speak for the campaign. This change is framed as part of a broader media-team reorganisation, with some reporting that previously named spokespersons are reassigned into a directorate related to media and strategic communications.
Different outlets vary slightly in emphasis and wording. One outlet highlights that only three spokespersons are recognised. Another focuses on the decision as a clarification and reauthorisation of who can speak. A third also describes the administrative step of dissolving earlier spokesperson roles into a media and communications directorate.
