The Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji, has dismissed concerns over the reported extravagant lifestyle of President Bola Tinubu.

Adedeji made the claim during an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, while responding to questions on the lifestyles of political office holders amid the economic hardship confronting Nigerians.

The NRS boss said Tinubu’s daily routine was far removed from the perception of luxury and excessive spending associated with the Presidency.

According to him, the President regularly walks from his residence to his office and only uses a vehicle when travelling to the airport.

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

He said, “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.

“What is living large? In the last months, he has not even left the shores of this country, trekking and working. If you go there now, you will see him review one document or the other.

“So what is living large? The president eats once in a day. How many parties have you seen him at in the last three years? Tell me where you have seen him, whether on holiday or anywhere?”

His comments come amid growing public scrutiny of government expenditure and the lifestyles of political office holders, particularly as Nigerians grapple with rising living costs and broader economic pressures.
