Capt. Iniobong Ekong Joins TGCG as Director of Security and Intelligence

A socio-political movement, The Game Changer Group (TGCG), has appointed the Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Trade and Investment, Capt. Iniobong Ekong (Rtd.), as its Director of Security and Intelligence.

TGCG focuses on grassroots political mobilization and citizen engagement across Nigeria.

Speaking on the appointment, the National Director-General and Convener of the group, Alhaji Bolaji Raji, expressed confidence that Ekong, who is known for his active involvement in security management, grassroots politics, and community development initiatives, would bring valuable experience in national and local-level coordination to the organisation.

According to Raji, these qualities align with TGCG’s mission of ensuring a conducive, peaceful, and secure environment that enables effective interaction between government and citizens in the deepening of democracy in Nigeria.

He said: “Ekong, known for his active involvement in security management, grassroots politics, and community development initiatives, is expected to bring his vast experience and extensive network of contacts to enhance the organisation’s outreach and strengthen its operational capacity in security and intelligence.”

Raji further stated that the group is rapidly expanding its footprint across the country, operating a robust and well-structured network that spans all states, local government areas, wards, and polling units. He added that the organisation has coordinators in all states of the federation as well as across the six geopolitical zones.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that the group is driven by a vision to mobilise widespread grassroots support and build a people-oriented movement capable of advancing support for President Bola Tinubu’s second-term ambition.

The National Secretary of the group, Dr. Ibrahim Dauda, is expected to oversee the coordination and institutional processes required to sustain the organisation’s nationwide operations.

Further strengthening its leadership profile, TGCG boasts the involvement of notable national figures, including two former governors Obong Victor Attah and Mohammed Abubakar who serve as National Chairmen of the National Council of Leaders and the National Council of Patrons, respectively.
