APGA, in a statement on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, expressed its commitment to human rights and announced a formal investigation into Ikwechegh’s conduct.
The statement reads, “The attention of our great party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, has been drawn to a viral video of alleged assault meted out to a citizen by the Honourable member representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency, Alex Ikwechegh. As a political party founded on respect for human rights, we roundly condemn the action of our said member.”
In the video, Ikwechegh was allegedly seen engaged in a heated exchange with the Bolt driver, who had reportedly delivered a service to the lawmaker’s residence.
According to the video, Ikwechegh questioned the driver, saying, “Do you know where you are? Do you know who I am?” The driver, demanding payment, responded, “I don’t want to know, just pay me and let me go.” The video reportedly captured the lawmaker refusing to pay, accusing the driver of “disrespect” and making an alarming threat: “I can make this man disappear in the whole of Nigeria and nothing would happen.”
