The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) chairman, Zacch Adedeji, has defended President Bola Tinubu against accusations of a lavish lifestyle, asserting that the President lives modestly. Adedeji noted that Tinubu often walks from his residence to his office, only using a vehicle when traveling to the airport. He also mentioned that Tinubu only eats once a day and has not traveled outside Nigeria in the past three months.
These claims were made in response to questions about political leaders' lifestyles during an economic crisis affecting Nigerians. Adedeji challenged the notion that Tinubu was living extravagantly, questioning why the cost of an Escalade should be a concern when the President could afford it. He further stated that Tinubu's activities did not suggest an extravagant lifestyle, as he has not left Nigeria in the past three months and spends most of his time reviewing documents.
