The Peoples Democratic Party has congratulated Rt. Hon. Frederick Agbedi on his emergence as the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives. The party welcomed the announcement made by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, during the plenary earlier today.
The National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, SAN, described Hon. Agbedi’s emergence as “a mark of earned trust and deep confidence in his leadership abilities”, describing the new Minority Leader as a “trustworthy, firm, irrepressible and principled politician, who responds only to
conviction, not convenience.”
Rt. Hon. Fred Agbedi, who represents Sagbama/Ekeremor Federal Constituency of Bayelsa State, was, before this elevation, the Leader of the PDP Caucus in the House of Representatives.
He is a former state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State. He has been an unrepentant member of the Peoples Democratic Party, who believes in the party as an opposition, not an appendage of the ruling party.
The Party is certain that Hon. Agbedi will deploy his talents, competencies, and character in
the service of the House of Representatives, the legislature, and the larger Nigerian people.
