  "summary": "Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has criticized former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi for blaming President Bola Tinubu for his mother's death. Amaechi claimed that Tinubu's policies made it difficult for him to afford his mother's medication, leading to her demise. Wike argued that Amaechi, who had held various high-ranking political positions, should not have used his mother's death to seek political sympathy. He questioned the financial circumstances of Amaechi and his family, including his wife's industrialist status, and accused Amaechi of not seeking help from his friends who had private jets to bury his mother.",
