Reps Minority Leader: Ugochinyere releases video of Agbese signing endorsement form

The lawmaker representing Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency of Imo State in the Federal House of Representatives, Ikenga Ugochinyere, has released a video of the House Deputy Spokesperson, Philip Agbese, signing his endorsement form for the position of Minority Leader of the green chamber.

In the video, which was recorded on May 21, 2026, Agbese was seen signing two forms. 

Recall that on Thusday at the House plenary, Agbese raised a point of privilege, alleging that his signature was forged on a document nominating Ugochinyere for the position of Minority Leader of the House of Representatives.

It was reported earlier that 61 members of the Minority Caucus had appended their signatures to nominate Ugochinyere, a member of the Action People’s Party, APP, for the position of Minority Leader. 

Coming under a motion of person privilege on the floor of the House, Agbese denied ever endorsing Ugochinyere, saying the publication in the newspaper, vis-a-vis his signature, infringed his privilege as a member of the Minority Caucus.

“Yesterday I saw a document on the internet with my name reportedly nominating a member of this House for the post of minority leader,” he said.

Ugochinyere, however released the video where Agbese was signing the endorsement form for the position.
