The All Progressives Congress responded by claiming that Amaechi is incapable of earning a living outside of public office. The African Democratic Congress fired back, criticizing the APC for using a mother's death as a political issue. Further details on the exchange between the two parties are available. The comments have sparked a heated exchange between the APC and the ADC.
