The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has assured that the forthcoming National Convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, will strengthen internal democracy and consolidate a vision for a united Nigeria.
Idris made this known on Monday, in his address, while inaugurating the APC National Convention of the Media and Publicity Subcommittee as the co-chairman in a Zoom meeting from London.
The minister is in London ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s official visit to the United Kingdom at the invitation of King Charles III.
He said, “As you are all aware, this convention is a significant milestone in the life of our great party as we continue to strengthen internal democracy and consolidate our vision for a united, prosperous, and progressive Nigeria.
“The APC administration led by President Tinubu is currently undertaking bold reforms aimed at repositioning our nation for sustainable growth and long-term development in Nigeria.”
He further stressed that “as we formally inaugurate the Media and Publicity Subcommittee for the 2026 National Convention of the APC, we, as a party, remain committed to advancing the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ of the president, and this forthcoming convention provides another opportunity to demonstrate our unity, discipline, and shared commitment to national progress.”
“The responsibility entrusted to this committee is, therefore, strategic and vital. In today’s fast-paced information environment, the success of any major political event depends greatly on how effectively its message is communicated to the public.
“Your role goes beyond publicity; it involves ensuring accurate information dissemination, promoting transparency, coordinating media engagement, and projecting the process and outcomes of the convention to Nigerians and the international community,” he said.
The minister noted that as a people who have spent many years in the media and communication and the political arena, I appreciate the experience we are bringing together to deliver on this assignment.
“As a subcommittee, our deliverables include content creation, media relations, media planning/buying, liaison with other subcommittees for media-related engagements, general report writing and documentation in hard and soft copies, media monitoring, performance evaluation, reporting in print and audio-visual formats, and administration and coordination of all media activities of the convention.
“I, therefore, encourage members to approach this assignment with utmost professionalism, creativity, and a strong sense of duty. By leveraging media platforms within our reach, we must ensure that the convention is widely and positively covered, while upholding the highest standards of credibility and integrity.
“On behalf of the party leadership, I congratulate all members of this committee on your well-deserved appointment.
“I am confident that your collective experience and expertise will contribute greatly to the success of the 2026 APC National Convention; therefore, it is my pleasure to formally inaugurate the Media and Publicity Subcommittee of the 2026 APC National Convention.”
