Following a series of flops that could cost the All Progressives Congress (APC) a significant number of votes in the upcoming 2027 presidential election, the party has decided to terminate the services of Presidential Campaign Spokesperson, Alwan Hassan.
The APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) dismissed Hassan for two main reasons: First, during his appearance on Arise News Prime Time on Thursday, October 22, 2026, he claimed that ministers in Nigeria pay billions of Naira in bribes to be appointed. This revelation from a ruling party politician was not only unexpected, but it also jeopardised the APC and exposed the organisation’s involvement in malpractice.
Another event that prompted the APC to fire Hassan as campaign spokesman, was a recent controversial interview on Channels TV in which he claimed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had successfully established emergency numbers for Nigerian citizens. After urging the Channels News reporter and audience to call the numbers, it was confirmed that the helplines are inactive.
“Take your phone and call 112. Nobody knows about this. We used to hear it in America, 911. Call 112 now, put it on the speaker, and they’ll ask you what’s your emergency,” Hassan said.
The APC-PCC announced that Hassan relieve Hasan would be relieved of duty on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in a statement signed by Femi Gbajabiamila, Deputy Director-General of the Council and Chief of Staff to President Tinubu.
