A Nigerian Lawmaker, Hon. Alex Ikwechegh, has responded to allegations circulating on social media that he assaulted a Bolt driver, Stephen Abuwatseye, who delivered a package to him.

Ikwechegh is representing Aba North and Aba South in the House of Representatives.

In his statement issued on Monday,, Ikwechegh while apologizing for his act, noted that his actions fell short of the standards expected from a public official.

He expressed regret for the incident, acknowledging the negative impact of his behavior on the driver and the broader community.

According to him “As a public servant, I recognise the trust placed in me by my constituents and the Nigerian people. My behaviour fell short of the standards expected of me, and for that, I am truly sorry.”

He said he regretted the harm and embarrassment his actions had caused Abuwatseya, his constituents, and the public.

He also confirmed his cooperation with the Nigerian Police, pledging to support their investigation and uphold accountability.

The statement reads: “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 behaviour 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 behaviour 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,” the statement read

He also applauded the Nigeria Police Force for upholding the law and protecting the rights of the citizens.

He stated, “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.”

Ikwechegh noted that he was taking immediate steps to address the underlying issues that led to this incident.

“I am seeking professional counselling to ensure that such behaviour never happens again. Additionally, I will be engaging in community service initiatives focused on promoting respect, empathy, and understanding.”

He, however, called on all Nigerians to join him in fostering a culture of respect, tolerance, and understanding.

“We must work together to build a society where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Thank you for your understanding and I hope that you will join me on this journey towards healing and growth,” Ikwechegh added.

The controversy started after a video surfaced on social media showing Ikwechegh allegedly slapping and verbally insulting the driver in his Maitama residence, Abuja.

In the footage, the lawmaker is heard chastising the driver, insisting it was disrespectful for him to be asked to come outside to collect a delivery of snails.

The video further shows Ikwechegh making comments about his social status, reportedly threatening to “make the driver disappear” without consequences.
