Agbese

By Gift ChapiOdekina

Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Hon. Philip Agbese, has maintained that his signature was unlawfully used to endorse Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere for the position of Minority Leader, describing the action as forgery and insisting he never supported the lawmaker’s nomination.

In a statement issued on Friday, Agbese said his signature was appended to a document for a different purpose but was later used without his authorisation to back Ugochinyere’s bid for the minority leadership position.
