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.
