'I Am Embarrassed', Lawmaker Alex Ikwechegh Apologises For Assaulting Bolt Driver

[@AdewaleRafiu-d7z]

He's an arrogant Rep. Let him be an example. He's a fool.

[@Ria_lifeventure]

I blame the people who voted him to the office. Nothing annoys me more than an insincere apology. He didn't apologize because he is truly sorry. Even still reading a script that was crafted for him. Chai! 9ja sha.

[@faithokolo6024]

This was not the accent you were using during the assault. What point are you trying to make?

[@elegantkati747]

I wonder ooooooh...

[@ebitindok5179]

Your Apology is not Accepted. GET OUT with immediate effect.

[@MikeDennis-jk5tl]

😂

[@ighoevans7106]

😂😂​@@MikeDennis-jk5tl

[@vegasthedudeijustcanthate.9230]

He's not sorry, he's sorry because he got caught 😤.

[@AuwalSG]

He is not remorseful, he should be in jail please. Very disgraceful

[@giftazenabor4673]

He still carry book Dey read wetin happen 😂😂. It’s a movie

[@elegantkati747]

Na person write am for am😂😂😂😂😂...

[@Nivek05]

He's not sorry. He's obviously on drugs, he's only saying all these because there was a camera. That guy would have been dead by now if there was no evidence.

[@HephzibahYahudah-ow2th]

Definitely 💯

[@ZimeSigam]

This one deserves to be suspended with immediate effect

[@chinnygeorge921]

Even Mr Speaker noticed the apology was scripted and went ahead to remark on it. Oga, you gonn lurrn, and you'll lurrn the hard way 😂🤣😂

[@FolktalesnFolklores]

This idiot need to start negotiating from that 50 million upwards since he can afford that to make the driver disappear

[@elegantkati747]

Exactly

[@tajudeenfatiuolanrewaju9157]

You’re not deceiving us by reading your lawyer’s speech

[@4formation4mike-mike4matic]

true

[@elegantkati747]

😂😂😂

[@solomoneke4459]

Your apology is meaningless. Do the citizens of Nigeria the needful by resigning from the House of Representatives.

[@adebolaladipo-ajai2237]

He's the one giving solution that they should move forward, very dishonorable!

[@theophiluschukwujindu352]

The fact that you went to the police station where you detained that uber driver that night and continued to verbally abuse him again two hours after the incident shows that you didn't act only because of the altercation both of you had at your house. You are an oppressor trying to save his political career with a scripted apology note.

[@adesquare5210]

This legislator is a disgrace he should be expelled from the house and the individual assaulted should take him to court for his disrespect and abuse!

[@kolawolefateye6612]

If not the video the Mr. Stevens made, all these would have been denied. The unfortunate ones in charge of the country affair.

[@temitopeadewale8929]

He must be a very dull boy. Imagine him carrying typed and printed document to project his apology... Ordinary apology you carry book, no wonder him no get any single bill. Mumu

[@femiogabi3275]

He is not sorry at all! He gave out his apology speech to another fellow to write for him, and used a wrong word, "I am human, thus infallible". This guy doesn't know the meaning of the word "infallible"😢😮. The meaning of what he just said is that although he is human, he is incapable of making a mistake.😢 He is a vain, empty character. Many politicians are.

[@andrewbadejo4716]

This one is not fit to represent Nigerians at any level of government. This rubish must stop immidiately. Nonesense.

[@ayodele8902]

This is one of the reasons I do always say that Nigeria has not started planning to move out of the woods. No soberness, no regrets of any type in him

[@richardodeyunscripted]

Someone wrote the speech for him.

[@elegantkati747]

Exactly...😂😂😂😂😂

[@OlabisiDamilola]

Before nko

[@KazeemMayowa-li4uk]

Ofcourse yes

[@aipboess7138]

If this is the same guy that assaulted the driver, then I strongly suggest a drugs test.

[@sothdestiny9496]

This is not an apology. Just imagine if the incident was not secretly recorded. That driver would disappear without a trace like many others. The recording was the driver's last and only defense mechanism as he thought he might truly disappear without a trace. Thank God for the Android phone and the Internet.

[@victorekpenyong9891]

This guy is an actor. The fear of vdm is the beginning of wisdom 😂😂😂

[@alhajisannie9217]

All these was UNPROVOKED! The whole world saw it on video. He claims he was provoked. You see, no regrets whatsoever. Resign or be fired!

[@susanokon]

'Mr Speaker I am human' really...so the other person was not human. You now seek for forgiveness...this life ehehe fear Nigerian politicians😂😂😂

[@rifkatudogo8781]

Damage control. He is not sorry

[@elani6507]

Mere crocodile tears because you were caught. His arrogance and lack of remorse is staggering. He is not honest or honourable with his superficial apology. His heart is not in it and all we are watching here is acting. He is laughing at us with derisive comments. Just look at his arrogance and body language and you realise he doesn’t mean what he saying. He should be recalled immediately , idiot.

[@tundeolajacob6148]

It's showing he's really not sincere.This incident happened directly and connected with him. He has to read a script written out by someone on his behalf. What a shame!!!

[@Ifeco-Aliche]

No remorse in his voice at all. Onye ocha na Aba, we wil vote you out, you are too arrogant and proud

[@kingsleychukwuma5581]

Apology not accepted, let him tell us how to make people disappear

[@henrytyav3642]

He should pay for damages

[@nicholastoryima]

It’s a shame this man is still in the House of Representatives he should be suspended.

[@biolarabiu]

The moment you slapped a citizen in the UK with video evidence available, you definitely can't escape justice.

[@chiefpriest177]

Fake apology. You gonna lurn the hard way

[@cool2zip]

I believe this man's behaviour was appalling, to say the least, and a disgrace to his public office and position. He should be laid off of his public office duties immediately. He has brought a stain to his public office. The world has seen his disgraceful act and abusive insults.

[@oguwikennamdi7069]

Only apologized because you got caught

[@olatitiemilekanbabatunde9494]

This guy must be a joke, does he think Nigerians are stupid " they don't reflect your values" that's a lie, this is who you have been and how you are, this is you, there's no other story to it.

[@LinusFunmilayo-ry7fi]

What kind of apology is he reading like that.. is this truly from his heart?

[@joenkwo8039]

Pride cometh before a fall, remember this Alex Ikwe.... whatever your unfortunate name is

[@lukaibrahim1109]

Too late. Now we know who you are. This damage control will not work

[@IzuagbeGodsman]

Your disgrace has just started

[@olatitiemilekanbabatunde9494]

Have you ever thought how many persons he must have made disappear, like he boldly and arrogantly said. He should be looked into more

[@samuelakin7240]

You're forgiven but the internet doesn't forget. Wait until you buy your presidency ticket

[@elegantkati747]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@ebitindok5179]

You Must Go. Apology not accepted. You must vacate your seat. You are a Disappointment to the Hallowed Chamber if it is indeed Hallowed.

[@neduokorie]

See potential Nollywood actor 😂.

[@ruthilobaba9737]

He’s obviously not sorry cos he’s reading a script written by his lawyer. He should be stripped of his position. Very proud man

[@paulline8710]

This man should be recalled home , so he can learn from his misbehaving.

[@akpoughulterwase4120]

We are asking for your resignation

[@MadaUmoruAlesa]

You are a disgrace to the Igbo nation. You are not remorseful at all. Your mannerisms doesn't reflect your words.

[@MrHandle_1]

Nigeria is like this because there is ks no consequences for actions ......last last you go offer am money

[@DavidDenanofi]

I am waiting patiently for the people he represents to say something about this, and it's very obvious that he his not even by any means feeling bad for his actions, if he his not use as a scape goat, then I wonder what the lawmakers will say about human rights. I just believe he must have been worse than this in the past, only that this time he wasn't lucky enough.

[@TopeBalogun-c4d]

This one na turenchi. Empty english language. Period!

[@villatechhub]

What a disgrace!! Shame on you dishonoured personality!

[@nwachukwuceevero7069]

Regardless of the provocation? Which provocation???

[@EmmanuelJoseph-k7q]

Speaking more nonsense in the name of an apology. He's got millions that can be used to make someone disappear. Therefore, I don't expect anything reasonable to be done to him as a punishment. And, I don't think the National Assembly is honourable enough to know how to deal with such a situation.

[@СергейЗемлянский-ы7ф]

Be humble please and apologise properly

[@successforever-ep9vr]

He never called the man "Mr" He Just referred to him as "Citizen" throughout the speech.Tooo Bad

[@MrStrikemasterice]

so much passiveeeeee language. HE DOESN"T CARE ONE BIT.

[@akaodey]

Humm God ha mercy on us. He doesn't even look sorry. Reading from book.😢😢😢

[@OAKtheman]

I can bet $1,000 he did not write the poem he is reciting. Therefore, apology not accepted.

[@reinvent9259]

Please let's have a REAL country with REAL rules, no need to apologize for being yourself. Just resign and leave public office as an example of what happens in a REAL society with consequences of bad behaviour in public office period. What happened to that other senator caught beating a woman on video? Is this our leadership or a cartoon? This guy needs to DISAPPEAR!

[@okangba1]

Igbo zoo

[@damarhosideso8938]

Forgiven BUT U MUST CHOP SUSPENSION. period

[@HarcourtMicah]

What a joke, the Nigerian state is sick.

[@AHMEDAHMED-zamani]

[@frankpraize5092]

Apologies NOT ACCEPTED😢😢

[@joebarthnigeria6629]

[@SalvationBitrus-hy7ok]

[@michaelodey6389]

His dressing speaks volume of his character, he's a Fulani blood representing Fulani interest in ala Igbo.

[@Familywithmedawg]

You just big mumu

[@lazokolie5667]

Did you perform DNA on him to determine his origin? We are sinners and anyone can fall short. We all need Savior!

[@chiefpriest177]

If he is sincerely apologizing why is a reading a long speech..

[@floracharlz]

He is NOT sorry…after all, wetin dem wan do am? Wetin dem fit do am? This is Nigeria 🇳🇬 Rubbish!!!

[@DSedits4fun]

What a coward, scripted apology, so pathetic

[@writethevision6204]

Oga, go and apologize to the bolt driver. Arrogant man

[@calebrakingigbo]

[@modupeo.o3453]

Pride oozes out of him! Shame!

[@BrendaFosta]

Who re u people deceiving

[@nathanielcelestine243]

What are you doing there? You are no longer representing the people.

[@chibykjohn9360]

What's he apologizing for. Is he a kid? His an adult who displayed his real character and not this window dressing display. I wish he pays millions for damages. Arrogant fool!

[@oluwatosinogidiolu5708]

What is this joke. This is what you call apology?

[@Nivek05]

And btw everyone is laughing when Mr. Speaker called out his bullshit which means members of house are not even serious

[@ejiroigbi2904]

So if I read a speech written for me ro read as an apology, does it make sense? Thus is just A goat eating a paper.

[@LawRaw007]

😂Nigeria and cruise! Even person weh dey prison too is Human !

[@arcebuka7707]

He should vacate his seat

[@suleimanuusaini3]
