Last week, videos of Bola Tinubu, a major contender for Nigeria’s presidency in the 2023 general elections, emerged, showing his hands shaking repeatedly.

Many people who saw the video raised concerns over the fitness of the 69-year-old to lead the nation. His age has been a subject of discourse.

Tinubu is a stalwart of the governing All Progressives Party (APC).

Declaring his plan to contest for the nation’s President recently, the ‘Jagaban’, as his supporters fondly call him, admitted that he was a kingmaker who wanted to be king.

He said getting the presidency was his lifelong ambition.

Prior to this, a video had trended on social media alleging the former governor of Lagos State peed on his cloth while visiting prominent monarchs in Ogun State for endorsement for the highest office in the country; his support group refuted the claim and said his detractors were behind it.

What makes human limbs’ other parts shake repeatedly?
The US-based John Hopkins Medicine identifies essential tremor (ET) as one of the conditions that could make human hands shake.

It says ET is a neurological condition that causes one’s hands to shake rhythmically.

According to the organisation, the condition could involve the head, trunk and voice shaking alongside the hand, but the hand’s shaking is most prominent.

The cause is unknown, but it is genetic.

Another US-based website focusing on tremors notes that ET affects an estimated 10 million people in the US and 41 million people worldwide.

“Probably the most widely known person with ET is former President Bill Clinton,” says the website.

The WebMD is also based in the US and runs a health information website. Its team works closely with over 100 doctors and health experts across various speciality areas.

The platform provides information on 14 conditions that could lead to the human hand’s vibration: Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Overactive Thyroid (Hyperthyroidism), Pheochromocytoma, Liver Disorders, and Brain Disorders.

Others are too much caffeine, alcohol withdrawal, lack of sleep, low blood sugar, stress, side effects of certain medications, smoking, and lack of vitamin B12.

Parkinson’s Disease

The UK’s National Health Services defines Parkinson’s Disease as a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years.

The NHS states that the disease manifests in the form of involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body (tremor), slow movement, and stiff muscles.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

The US National Centre for Complementary and Integrative Health notes that Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system whereby the body’s immune system attacks myelin, which coats nerve cells.

Symptoms of MS include muscle weakness (often in the hands and legs), tingling and burning sensations, numbness, chronic pain, coordination and balance problems, fatigue, vision problems, and difficulty with bladder control. According to the organisation, people with MS may feel depressed and have trouble thinking clearly.

Overactive Thyroid (Hyperthyroidism)

WebMD says shaky hands may be a sign of hyperthyroidism. “This means your thyroid gland is working too hard and kicking your heart rate into high gear. You may also notice that you lose weight without trying, are sensitive to light, get a fast heartbeat, and have trouble sleeping. A simple blood test will help you and your doctor (will) figure out what’s going on.”

Walai.....

If this man becomes the president of Nigeria in the future, what we're experiencing today in the hands of Buhari might be child's.

Tinubu is finished

I'm a relative to Tinubu but I won't support him

The mistake Yoruba people do Na allowing Tinubu declare his “ ambition “

Nigeria is not for sale .. he can go and share his bullion to those improvised Yoruba people in Ogun oyo Osun Ekiti Ondo

They need it more than his ambition

See beautiful long gibberish epistle

Chai, wailer's life in comatose

That's not sickness.... shaky hands is associated with too much counting of money I'm a living witness

In a sane society, Tinubu and his drug partners would have been chilling in jail right now!

May another affliction not happen in Nigeria again!!!
