  "summary": "Rotimi Amaechi, the African Democratic Congress' presidential running mate, has stated that President Bola Tinubu's policies have led to the death of his mother. According to Amaechi, his mother was healthy before Tinubu took office, but after 2023, it became difficult for him to afford her medication.\n\nAmaechi warned Nigerians that a Tinubu presidency is a \"choice of death\". He cited the high cost of living, including transport and housing, which have increased significantly. For instance, he mentioned that transport fare alone can take up to N65,000 out of a N70,000 monthly salary.\n\nAmaechi urged Nigerians to vote for the ADC's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who he said represents \"life\". He claimed that many people have died because they cannot afford drugs, and that Tinubu's policies have taken away people's money. Daily Post Nigeria reported these comments.",
