2027 Election: Ex-NAN boss Ima Niboro appointed Tinubu campaign team spokesperson

Veteran journalist Ima Niboro has been appointed as one of the spokespersons for President Bola Tinubu’s campaign council ahead of the 2027 general election.

Niboro, a former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), previously served as spokesperson to former President Goodluck Jonathan.

He later became the head of NAN, where he supervised the agency’s nationwide news-gathering network as well as its international operations.

His latest appointment brings his experience in journalism and political communication into the Tinubu campaign ahead of the 2027 polls.

His appointment comes as Tinubu’s campaign council strengthens its communications team ahead of the 2027 election.

The communications team is led by Dele Alake, minister of solid minerals development, with Mohammed Idris, minister of information and national orientation, as co-chairman.

Other members include Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy; Sunday Dare, special adviser to the president and former minister of youth and sports development; Tunde Rahman, senior special assistant to the president on media and special duties; and Felix Morka, national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The team comprises journalists, government communicators and political strategists with experience across traditional and digital media.

Niboro’s appointment also adds a former presidential spokesman with experience in managing national political messaging and complex public issues to Tinubu’s campaign communications structure.

The team is expected to focus on communicating the Tinubu administration’s reform programme and the next phase of the government’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
