APC Gags Keyamo, Onanuga, Bwala, 31 Campaign Council Members From Talking To Media After TV Booboo By Alwan (SEE FULL LIST)
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has banned 34 members of the Directorate Of Media and Strategic Communications in the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications of its APC Presidential Campaign Council, from talking to the media as spokespersons.
Those affected include Alhaji Alwan Hassan, who made controversial statements in interviews on Channels Television.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, Alwan Hassan defended the effectiveness of Nigeria’s 112 emergency line and claimed tertiary institutions received ₦4 billion each for upgrades.
During the live programme, host Seun Okinbaloye tested the 112 emergency line live on air, and the call failed.
Hassan previously drew scrutiny in October 2026 for alleging that government ministers paid bribes of billions of naira to secure their appointments, and would fight for Tinubu’s re-election in order to recoup their “investments.”
Making the gag announcement in a statement, titled, REORGANIZATION OF MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS STRUCTURE, on Wednesday, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Chief of Staff and Deputy Director-General (Administration), APC Presidential Campaign Council, said:
“To ensure more cohesive, disciplined, and effective public engagement, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has made some changes to the structure of the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications.
“The Council has approved that 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, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, will speak on behalf of the Council.
“All previously announced persons in this capacity shall henceforth dissolve into the Directorate of Media and Strategic Communications as members.
“Radio and TV stations are hereby advised to take note of these changes and act accordingly. The campaign will delegate appropriate person(s) for appearances where and when necessary.”
