Bayo Onanuga, a former managing director of the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN), Dele Alake, a former commissioner of information in Lagos
state, and Festus Keyamo, minister of state labour and employment, will head
the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council.
While Onanuga was appointed director of media and publicity,
Alake was announced as director of strategic communication.
The former Lagos commissioner held this same position when
President Muhammadu Buhari sought reelection in 2019.
In a statement on Sunday, Onanuga said Festus Keyamo,
minister of labour and employment, who was earlier announced as the spokesman
of the campaign council would continue in that role.
The former NAN MD said Lanre Issa-Onilu, a former
spokesperson of the APC, was appointed as deputy director of communication
strategy.
He said Hannatu Musawa, Kehinde Bamigbetan and Modibbo Kawu
would serve as deputy director of public affairs, deputy director of media
relations and deputy director of media and publicity respectively.
“While Mohammed Bulama will be in charge of multimedia, Seun
Olufemi-White will be the deputy director [of] new media,” he said.
“The tripodal
arrangement, the first in a presidential campaign, has a line of other
assistant directors and senior officials, representing the nation’s various
regions with job specifications spelt out.
“The campaign structure will also soon unveil
representatives and spokesmen in all the states of the federation.”
With the structure approved by Bola Tinubu, APC presidential
candidate, the media directorate has three departments – media, public affairs
and strategic communication.
