APC Removes Alwan Hassan as Spokesman After 112 Call Fails on Live TV

The APC Presidential Campaign Council has removed Alwan Hassan and three other officials from their spokesperson roles after Hassan’s attempt to demonstrate Nigeria’s 112 emergency number failed during a live television interview. The four will remain members of the council’s media and communications directorate. During the interview, Hassan said people could call 112 for help with medical emergencies, security threats and road accidents. The presenter tried the number several times, but the calls did not connect. Hassan suggested a network problem, while the presenter noted that other calls from the studio were going through. The council said the change was intended to improve coordination. Director-General Abdulaziz Yari, Dele Alake and Mohammed Idris are now the only officials authorised to speak on its behalf.
