While Osun-born Fani-Kayode heads one of the media directorates in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council, Melaye is one of the spokespersons of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Fani-Kayode fired the first salvo when he tweeted a jab at Atiku, PDP presidential candidate:

“You have lost Wike, Makinde, Ortom, Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi and now Bala Mohammed. Instead of reaching out to them you send your boyfriend to a town hall meeting to harass and insult Peter Obi.
“Waziri, your world is falling apart!”
