‘Nigerians this is not the time for us to divide ourself based on tribe or religion’ – Abuja Bolt driver apologies to Abia Rep, Alex Ikwechegh
Abuja-based Bolt driver Stephen Abuwatseya has apologized to Abia federal lawmaker Alex Ikwechegh after a dispute between them.
Abuwatseya acknowledged that his own provocative words led to the misunderstanding with Ikwechegh and requested forgiveness from Nigerians. In a video released on Thursday, he urged the public to move on from the incident.
He said: “Good day, Nigerians. My name is Stephen Abuwatseya. I had a misunderstanding with Rt. Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh a few days ago. I actually want to apologize to him for whatever I must have said or done to provoke him to that level of anger.
“I want to tell Nigerians that it’s not time for us to start dividing ourselves based on religion, tribes, or regions. We should actually come together, see how we can unite this nation, and move it forward.
“Please, Nigerians, let’s forgive and forget, as it’s even contained in our Lord’s Prayer, that ‘Lord, please forgive us, as we forgive those who trespass against us.’ For there is no justice without forgiveness. Thank you very much.”
