‘It was difficult to buy drugs’ – Amaechi blames Tinubu’s policies on mother’s death

Former Nigerian Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has publicly blamed the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu for the death of his mother. Amaechi stated that his mother’s health deteriorated following the 2023 transition, noting that the subsequent economic environment made it impossible for him to afford the necessary medication for her care.

The statement highlights the ongoing public discourse regarding the impact of current administration policies on the cost of living and healthcare accessibility in Nigeria. By linking personal tragedy to national economic shifts, Amaechi’s remarks underscore the intensifying political criticism directed at the government’s fiscal reforms.
