The controversy surrounding the race for the position of Minority Leader in the House of Representatives took a fresh turn on Thursday as members of the G-60 Minority Caucus dismissed allegations that signatures on the nomination form of Rep. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere were forged.

The caucus’ position came hours after a rowdy session in the House during which the member representing Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency of Benue State, Rep. Philip Agbese, accused Ugochinyere and his supporters of using his signature without authorisation to endorse the latter’s bid for the minority leadership position.
