In a video message issued to the press on Thursday, Abuwatseya apologised for provoking Ikwechegh and asked Nigerians for forgiveness. He also advised everyone to get past the incident.
On October 28, Ikwechegh assaulted the Bolt driver who was delivering a box to him. In a viral video, Abuwatseya filmed the altercation at Ikwechegh's mansion in Maitama, Abuja.
The video showed the obviously enraged congressman repeatedly beating and cursing the driver after the latter asked him to step outside to collect a package of snails intended for delivery.
Following the event, Ikwechegh issued a public apology, recognising his acts and expressing regret for his conduct during the confrontation.
Verydarkman has played an active role in ensuring Stephen Abuwatseya either received justice and was duly compensated.
Verydarkman reacts to Stephen Abuwatseya's apology video
The socialite recently shared a video online recounting how he and his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, fought tirelessly to hold Alex Ikwechegh accountable for his alleged wrongdoings.
In the video, VDM explained that Alex Ikwechegh and his associates reached out to them, seeking to resolve the issue by compensating the driver once the matter escalated online.
According to Verydarkman, he proposed a compensation of N20 million and a car for the driver. However, the Honorable suggested a lower amount of N5 million along with the car.
VDM further claimed that the driver, despite initially being part of their efforts, went behind their backs to build a relationship with the Honorable.
He expressed his disappointment over what he believed to be a forced apology from the driver.
The critic also criticized Stephen Abuwatseya for choosing to work against those who had supported him during the heat of the matter.
