Former Minister of Youth and Sports, Bolaji Abdullahi, has been picked as the new spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Abdullahi was nominated at a meeting of the North Central zone of the party held at Chelsea Hotel, Abuja, on Thursday.
He succeeds Lai Mohammed who was appointed minister of information and Culture by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
Both men are from Kwara State.
An ally of Senate President Bukola Saraki, Abdullahi was sacked as sport minister by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2014.
