Nigerian MP apologises after viral taxi slapping video

Nigerian MP Alex Ikwechegh has apologised after a video went viral of him slapping and verbally abusing a taxi driver who had come to deliver food to his house.

“I sincerely apologise for my words and actions during this incident… As a public servant, I understand the weight of my role and how my words can impact others,” said the politician who was questioned by police over the incident on Sunday evening.

Bolt driver Stephen Abuwatseya accepted a job to deliver some snails to Ikwechegh’s home in the capital, Abuja, and began recording their conversation after an argument started over payment.

The lawmaker had accused the driver of disrespecting him and went on to slap him in the clip.

What appeared to have angered the 44-year-old politician from Abia state in south-eastern Nigeria was the driver’s request that he come outside to collect the delivery.

“So, you think I will give you my money with the way you have spoken to me?” he asked in the video recording.

Mr Abuwatseya responded: “I did a job for you, and you have to pay me, sir.”

The MP then phoned the snail seller to complain about the driver’s behaviour: “How can this stupid idiot come to my house and tell me that I’m supposed to come and meet him in his car and pick up snail that I’m buying from you?

“Can you imagine this rat? I can make this man to disappear in the whole of Nigeria and nothing would happen.”

He then turned back to the driver and continued the argument, asking if he knew who he was, repeatedly saying: “How dare you?”

He continued: “I will beat you up. I will show you that I’m a big brother to you. I will slap the hell out of you, lie you down, and lock you in my generator house. How dare you?”

When Mr Abuwatseya later made it clear he was recording, the MP challenged him to call the police chief.

The recording stopped when it appears the MP grabbed at the phone. In a later clip the driver is seen bare-chested and alleges the politician tore his shirt off and had slapped him three times in total.

In a statement on Monday, the police said they were investigating the matter and urged people to refrain from using the inspector general of police’s name “to intimidate others”.

In his statement, released on Tuesday, Ikwechegh extended his “heartfelt apologies” to the police chief “ recognising the unintended disparagement my remarks may have caused to his person, his office, and the entire institution”.

He also apologised to the House of Representatives, which, according to local media, has since referred the matter to its ethics committee.

“This incident has been a humbling reminder of the necessity for restraint and self-control, especially in challenging circumstances,” the legislator said.

“I am committed to using this experience as an opportunity for growth, both as a citizen and as a more empathetic representative of the people.”

Ikwechegh said he and Mr Abuwatseya had “explored alternative dispute resolution methods” to sort out the issue and had reached a “respectful resolution”.

Rep. Alex Ikwechegh Allegedly Has Driver Detained After Dispute

[ejesgistnews]

Rivers in Fresh Crisis as Court Stops Federal Allocation, Gives Reasons. In a landmark ruling, the Federal High Court in Abuja has barred the federal government from releasing monthly allocations to Rivers State. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik issued the order, prohibiting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from allowing the state access to funds in the consolidated revenue account. Read Also: Dollar to Naira Exchange Rate Today: Black Market and CBN Rates | October 30, 2024 This court action comes in response to a suit filed by the Hon. Martins Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly, challenging Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s alleged disregard for court directives. The plaintiffs in the case, which also named Zenith Bank Plc, Access Bank Plc, the Accountant-General of the Federation, Governor Fubara, and the Rivers State Government, argued that the governor has been violating previous court orders. Court Stops Rivers Allocation Over Disputed House Leadership. The Amaewhule-led faction urged the court to suspend federal allocations for Rivers State, accusing Governor Fubara of failing to present the 2024 Appropriation Bill to their assembly faction. Pay Attention To: House of Reps Member Alex Ikwechegh Apologizes After Caught on Video Assaulting Bolt Driver The plaintiffs cited a court decision that had previously recognized Hon. Amaewhule as the legitimate Speaker, thereby nullifying a competing budget proposal presented to the faction led by Hon. Victor Oko-Jumbo. The Court of Appeal also upheld Amaewhule's status as the official Speaker. Justice Abdulmalik’s ruling is rooted in allegations that Governor Fubara has made unauthorized withdrawals from the state’s consolidated revenue fund, a move the plaintiffs argue breaches Section 120 of the 1999 Constitution. This decision underscores the intensifying conflict over the Rivers State House of Assembly's leadership and its far-reaching implications for the state’s financial management. Rivers Political Crisis Escalates: Pro-Fubara Faction Challenges Ruling The political crisis in Rivers deepened earlier this year as the Victor Oko-Jumbo-led faction of the House of Assembly contested the resolutions from the Amaewhule faction. In July, the Amaewhule-led assembly barred Governor Fubara from accessing public funds due to his failure to submit the budget. In contrast, Oko-Jumbo’s faction, which claims that Amaewhule and 24 other members are no longer part of the House, has urged INEC to conduct by-elections to fill the disputed seats. Justice Omotosho, in a separate ruling, annulled the 2024 Rivers budget passed by pro-Fubara legislators, ordering the governor to re-submit it to the legally recognized assembly under Amaewhule’s leadership. The judgment also directed Governor Fubara to provide funds to the Assembly and prohibited any interference in its operations.
