All the faceless unauthorized mouthpieces of the All progressives Congress, speaking on national issues, have been advised to shut up for good.

The ruling party says that moving forward, only the national chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun and national publicity secretary, Lai Mohammed, are authorized to speak on behalf of the APC.

The party released a statement to this effect on Friday.

“It has come to the attention of the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that unauthorized persons have recently been issuing statements on behalf of the party.

This is totally wrong and unacceptable as only the National Chairman and the National Publicity Secretary can speak for the party on national issues.

Therefore, any member of the National Working Committee (NWC) or the party generally who wishes to speak on behalf of the party should expressly clear such statement with the National Chairman of our great party.

Also, State Publicity Secretaries of our party should restrict their statements to issues concerning their various states. It is expected that all concerned will adhere strictly to this guideline.”
