Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has claimed that the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu's administration played a role in his mother's death. Amaechi, who is the vice-presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress, discussed this allegation in an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today.

He stated that his mother was in good health prior to Tinubu's administration, but the increasing cost of medicine made it challenging for the family to afford necessary healthcare. Amaechi further argued that the economic downturn, which impacts the accessibility of medicines, affected many Nigerians. "Because policies are killing people.
