The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has condemned the assault on a Bolt driver by Alex Ikwechegh, the member representing Aba North and South in the House of Representatives.

The incident, captured in a now-viral video, shows Ikwechegh assaulting the driver who was delivering an item to his home.

In a statement issued by National Publicity Secretary Mazi Ejimofor Opara, the party stated that the lawmaker’s actions are “condemnable in all ramifications” and fall short of the party’s constitution.

The party announced the formation of a disciplinary committee to investigate the matter and enforce appropriate sanctions if Ikwechegh is found guilty.

The statement reiterated APGA’s commitment to upholding dignity and integrity among its and highlighted that conduct contrary to its values will not be tolerated.

Opara called on all party and elected officials to maintain high standards of decorum and civility in all engagements.

Part of the statement read: “As a political party founded on respect for Human Rights, we roundly condemn the action of our said member and Federal Parliamentarian, Alex Ikwechegh, representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency, on the platform of our great Party.

“As a party, we are founded on the basic principles of upholding the dignity of all humans, irrespective of class, creed and/or ethnicity.

“The recent video allegedly showing Ikwechegh assaulting a cab driver is totally unacceptable and runs counter to what our Party – APGA – represents.

“In line with APGA’s constitution, the Leadership of the Party shall set up a disciplinary committee to investigate the act, and if found wanting, appropriate sanctions shall be meted on him in line with the Constitution of APGA.

“Our party shall not tolerate any verifiable conduct that is not in tandem with the ideals of our founding fathers. In APGA, we are our Brother’s and Sister’s keeper and it cannot be any other way.”

I doubt if you know, he was elected to fight for the oppressed in his constituent and not to oppress them.

You guys have a notion, of being slaves to influentials and public figures.

Even if Okada rider was the one that assaulted him first, he was supposed to report him to law enforcement not to talk of slapping an adult publicly

APGA should sanction him

I belt that guy was high on something while displaying that high-handedness/madness, this action will stink and stick to him for a very long time.

This eeediot of a lawmaker should be recalled.

He has no business being there. Very animalistic behavior unbecoming of a lawmaker.

Anyway,he is there because he was rigged in. The people didn't vote him, but people's votes were subverted in his favor.

Animal of a lawmaker!😭

He just disgraced himself with such display of rascality.

"The party announced the formation of a disciplinary Committee..."

LOL!

Isn't there the saying in Nigeria that if you want an issue to die a natural death, set up a Committee?

Ok

Which other side of the story do you want to hear again when the dishonourable member has used his mouth explain to the woman he called and reported the bolt man to? Same thing the bolt guy said.
