Abia Rep Alex Ikwechegh's slap is taking over Nigeria! Watch out for your Uber drivers!

In a shocking turn of events that has caught the eyes of Nigerians nationwide, Abia State representative and member of the House of Representatives, Alex Ikwechegh, has been tagged the new face of outrage after allegedly assaulting an e-hailing driver in Abuja. What was supposed to be a routine delivery turned chaotic when Ikwechegh reportedly slapped the driver not once, not twice, but thrice! Confirming his violent outburst in a chillingly casual manner, the lawmaker brazenly stated he had plans for a third slap, abandoning all sense of political decorum and human decency.

The incident has drawn widespread condemnation from netizens and political organizations alike. The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) didn't hold back in voicing their disapproval, describing this assault as a blatant abuse of power. Citizens everywhere are demanding action, as various groups have called for Ikwechegh's arrest and prosecution, citing an alarming sentiment that such behavior from elected officials should not be taken lightly. After all, isn't it the peopleโ€™s duty to hold their lawmakers accountable?

As the ripples of outrage spread across social media, many are left wondering if Ikwechegh truly believed his status could shield him from consequences. Eyewitness accounts detail how the e-hailing driver, simply trying to make a living, became the unwitting target of an angry politician. With the video of the assault gaining traction online, many are now sharing memes and witty comments, blending humor with serious conversations about accountability and governance.

Meanwhile, the FCT Police Command has confirmed they are undergoing questioning with Ikwechegh regarding the incident. As this unfolds, many are left to ponder if this shocking assault is simply the tip of the iceberg regarding how some public officials perceive their power. Is this the new Pauline saying: 'Just because you have a seat in the house doesn't mean you can act as if it's your living room?' Because let's face it, itโ€™s not every day you hear a politician allegedly bragging about making someone 'disappear'. As unsettling as it is, many fear that incidents like this might discourage regular citizens from engaging with lawmakers altogether. The question remains: if you are a public figure acting like a mob boss, how can you expect the public to trust you with their welfare?
