Tinubu eats once daily, walks from residence to office – NRS Chair, Zach Adedeji

The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Zacch Adedeji, has dismissed concerns over the lifestyle of President Bola Tinubu, insisting that the President does not live extravagantly despite his position.

Adedeji spoke during an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, in which he was questioned by journalist Seun Okinbaloye about the lifestyles of political office holders amid the economic hardship facing Nigerians.

The discussion comes amid growing public debate over government spending and the lifestyles of political leaders, particularly as Nigerians continue to grapple with rising living costs.

Defending Tinubu, Adedeji said the President often walks from his residence to his office and only uses a vehicle when travelling to the airport.

He also claimed that Tinubu eats only once a day and had not travelled outside Nigeria in the past three months.

Responding to questions about the number of luxury vehicles, including Escalades, reportedly attached to the President’s convoy, Adedeji questioned why the President could not afford such vehicles given his position.

“Mr President goes from home to office on foot, not even driving except when he is going to the airport. I don’t know where you see the convoy. Before he became president, what is he riding?

“How much is an Escalade that the president of Nigeria cannot afford? Please don’t embarrass this country,” he said.
