Assaulted Bolt Driver Apologises To Abia Lawmaker, Alex Ikwechegh

309

There was drama on Thursday, as Stephen Abuwatseya, an e-hailing driver, publicly apologised to Alex Ikwechegh, the House of Representatives member representing Aba North/South of Abia State, following an altercation that occurred during a package delivery.

In a video statement released to the press on Thursday, Abuwatseya expressed his regret for provoking the incident that led to the lawmaker’s response.

He stated, “Good day, Nigerians. My name is Stephen Abuwatseya. I had a misunderstanding with Rt. Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh a few days ago. I actually want to apologize to him for whatever I must have said or done to provoke him to that level of anger.

“I want to tell Nigerians that it’s not time for us to start dividing ourselves based on religion, tribes, or regions. We should actually come together, see how we can unite this nation, and move it forward.

“Please, Nigerians, let’s forgive and forget, as it’s even contained in our Lord’s Prayer, that ‘Lord, please forgive us, as we forgive those who trespass against us.’ For there is no justice without forgiveness. Thank you very much.”

The driver also thanked his family and well-wishers for their support over the issue, “I want to use this medium to thank my family members, my parents, my brothers, my uncles and everybody that stood by me. I want to thank all of you. I love you all. Thank you. God bless Nigeria.”
