The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has announced that going forward, only three persons will speak on behalf of the council.
Naija News reports that the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu and Deputy Director-General (Administration) of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Femi Gbajabiamila, gave the update in a statement on Wednesday.
According to him, only 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, Mohammed Idris, will speak on behalf of the Council.
