Reps. Minority Leader Ugochinyere Releases Video of Agbese Signing Endorsement Form

The member of the House of Representatives for Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency in Imo State, Ikenga Ugochinyere, has posted a video showing House Deputy Spokesperson Philip Agbese signing an endorsement form for the Minority Leader position.

The footage, taken on May 21, 2026, captures Agbese signing two separate documents.

Earlier this week, Agbese raised a point of privilege in the House plenary, claiming that a document nominating Ugochinyere for Minority Leader had been forged and that his signature had been unlawfully used.

Reports indicated that 61 members of the Minority Caucus had signed the nomination, endorsing Ugochinyere, a member of the Action People’s Party (APP), for the leadership role.

During the privilege motion, Agbese denied ever supporting Ugochinyere and said that the newspaper’s publication of the document infringed on his rights as a Minority Caucus member.

“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 countered by releasing the video that shows Agbese signing the endorsement form for the position.
