Daily Trust had reported how the former Vice-president flew out of the country in the middle of the campaign for the 2023 elections.
His overseas trip triggered mixed reactions, with some reports claiming he travelled on health grounds.
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, had alleged that Atiku collapsed in Abuja on Monday.
In a tweet, Fani-Kayode said the incident occurred after Atiku arrived Abuja from his rally in Kaduna State.
He said Atiku was flown to Paris for medical care after complaining of dizziness and severe pains in his head.
“After his outing in Kaduna yesterday @atiku fell ill. He complained of dizzy spells & severe pains in his head & all over his body throughout the flight to Abuja. After landing at Abuja airport he collapsed. He was flown to Paris for medical attention immediately. God be with him. For the purposes of damage control they took pictures of him with others the following morning from Paris but please do not be fooled.
“There is something very wrong with the PDP presidential candidate in terms of his health & they don’t want the Nigerian public to know. Pray for him,” he wrote.
Reacting in the video, Melaye, who represented Kogi West Senatorial District in the eight Assembly, said, “See person wey dem say he de hospital. This place look like hospital ? Him de here de chop him food, de relax, de enjoy himself, holding meetings and you say….mehn! God go help people wey.. stomach infrastructure na problem oo, hunger na problem oo, make God provide for our needs ok.”
Fani-Kayode and Melaye have been engaged in heated exchange over Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Atiku.
While Fani-Kayode is supporting the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tinubu, Melaye is the arrowhead of the Atiku campaign organisation
