Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has accused ADC presidential running mate Rotimi Amaechi of exploiting his mother's death for political gain. Wike claims Amaechi is attempting to garner sympathy from Nigerians by falsely blaming President Bola Tinubu's administration for his mother's demise. Last week, Amaechi blamed Tinubu's economic policies for making it difficult to purchase drugs for his ailing mother, ultimately leading to her death.
In response, Wike expressed disappointment in Amaechi's political maneuvering, stating that his eight-year tenure as Speaker, eight years as governor, and eight years as Minister do not justify such behavior. He further criticized Amaechi for claiming his wife, an industrialist, could not aid in purchasing the necessary medication for his mother, despite having the resources to do so.
Wike also highlighted the irony that despite the outpouring of support from well-wishers who flew in to bury his mother, Amaechi failed to ask for financial assistance from friends with private jets to ensure his mother's survival. Wike concluded by asserting that no one will pity Amaechi, as his deceitful actions are widely known.
