He expressed contrition for the damage and humiliation his acts had brought to Abuwatseya, his supporters, and the general public.

Additionally, he affirmed his collaboration with the Nigerian Police, promising to uphold responsibility and assist with their investigation.

“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,” the statement read

Alex equally 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 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.”

“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.

Abuwatseya, the distraught driver, captured the altercation with Ikwechegh at the lawmaker’s Maitama, Abuja, home in a video that went viral on Monday.

Just because the driver had allegedly requested him to come out and pick up the snail he was delivering, Alex the obviously irate congressman was shown on camera repeatedly slapping and insulting the driver.

Additionally, he threatened to have the driver “disappear” without any repercussions.

However, the incident has sparked widespread public outcry, with many people condemning his behavior.

The police have also invited Ikwechegh to be questioned at their Maitama Divisional Headquarters after the incident.

The legislator was also criticized by the police for defaming Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun by challenging the driver to make calls to him.
