Lawmaker Who Makes People Disappear Issues Watery Apology

Member of the House of Representatives representing Aba North/ Aba South Federal Constituency, Alex Ikwechegh, has issued what some are dubbing a watery apology following his recorded assault on a Bolt driver, Stephen Abuwatseya.

GWG.ng reports that Ikwechegh battered Stephen Abuwatseya for not showing him enough respect when he delivered a package of snails he ordered to his residence on Zamfara Crescent in Maitama, Abuja.

Ikwechegh had in the course of the incident vowed to make the Bolt driver disappear without any consequence to him.

In an assertion that has caused uproar in the top ranks of the police he further bragged that not even the Inspector General of Police can save him from his fury.

However, responding with an apology late on Monday, Ikwechegh said:

“I, Honourable Alex Ikwechegh, Member of the House of Representatives, wish to address a deeply disturbing incident that occurred at my residence recently. A video has surfaced showing me engaging in unacceptable behavior towards an Uber driver who came to deliver a waybill for me. I am deeply sorry for my actions and acknowledge that they were unacceptable and unbecoming of a public official.

“As a public servant, I recognize the trust placed in me by my constituents and the Nigerian people. My behavior fell short of the standards expected of me, and for that, I am truly sorry. I understand that my actions have caused harm and embarrassment to the driver, my constituents, and the nation at large.

“I want to assure the public that I am fully cooperating with the Nigerian Police investigation into this matter. I support their efforts to ensure that justice is served and that those responsible are held accountable. I also appreciate the swift condemnation of my actions by my party and the Nigerian Police, demonstrating our collective commitment to upholding the law and protecting the rights of all citizens.

“I am taking immediate steps to address the underlying issues that led to this incident. I am seeking professional counseling to ensure that such behavior never happens again. Additionally, I will be engaging in community service initiatives focused on promoting respect, empathy, and understanding.

“I urge all Nigerians to join me in promoting a culture of respect, tolerance, and understanding. We must work together to build a society where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.”

The apology by Ikwechegh has not been formally responded to by either the Bolt driver or his lawyers.
