Senator Dino Melaye, the former law maker who represented Kogi West Senatorial district, and now a spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, has broken his silence after the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu released a video to show that he’s fit and healthy.

Recall that Tinubu in the video released via his Twitter handle on Sunday, denied reports that he has withdrawn from the 2023 presidential race. In a statement released alongside the video, Tinubu stated that he is strong, healthy and ready to serve Nigerians from day one in office.

“Many have said I have died; others claim I have withdrawn from the presidential campaign. “Well… Nope. This is the reality: I am strong, I am healthy and I am READY to serve Nigerians from Day One,”

Some opined that the APC flag bearer was forced to release the video after Nigerians demanded to know his whereabouts amid talks that he may been suffering from a serious ailment, after he was absent at the signing of the peace accord for the 2023 elections and the indefinite suspension of the inauguration of the APC presidential campaign

 

Reacting to the development via his Twitter handle on Monday, Melaye suggested that the former Governor of Lagos State is suffering from Parkinson’s disease. He wrote:

 

“Why Emilokan dey bike…Read,” with a screenshot of an article on Parkinson’s disease patients.
