In a statement issued in Calabar and signed by the group’s Treasurer, Sir Maurice Effiwatt, and Secretary, Dr. Julius Okputu, the CRSCF expressed profound gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the appointment and to Governor Bassey Edet Otu for his “invaluable support and endorsement.”

As Secretary of Contact and Mobilisation directorate for the South-South geopolitical zone, Ekpo will be responsible for building strategic relationships, coordinating grassroots engagement, and ensuring that the message of the Renewed Hope Agenda reaches every community across the six states of the South-South region.
The CRSCF expressed confidence that he will discharge the responsibility with the same integrity, competence, and passion that have defined his leadership of the group.
“His years of grassroots engagement, community development, and political mobilisation have prepared him for this significant national assignment,” the statement read.
