Opposition Reps Name NDC Caucus Leader Ogene Spokesman

The Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has announced the appointment of Hon. Afam Victor Ogene as its spokesman.

The Minority Leader of the House, Hon. Fredrick Agbedi, in a statement yesterday, said the decision was reached at an online meeting of the caucus held on Friday.

Hon. Ogene is the leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in the House of Representatives and represents Ogbaru Federal Constituency of Anambra State.

He is a ranking legislator and respected parliamentarian who brings to the role a wealth of legislative experience, a deep understanding of parliamentary procedure, and an unflinching commitment to the defence of democratic ideals.

“As spokesman, Hon. Ogene, an award-winning journalist and editor will articulate the positions of the Minority Caucus on national issues, ensure effective communication with the Nigerian people, and uphold the Caucus’s constitutional duty of holding the Executive to account.

“The caucus is confident that his appointment will strengthen its engagement with citizens and reinforce the principles of checks and balances in the 10th Assembly.

“The Minority Caucus urges members of the press and the public to accord Hon. Ogene all necessary cooperation as he discharges this responsibility on behalf of the Caucus,” the statement reads.
