| Tinubu treks to office, eats once daily – NRS boss |
Adedeji said Tinubu does not live a lavish lifestyle despite occupying the nation’s highest office, adding that the President remains focused on his duties.
He made the statement during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday while responding to questions about the lifestyle of political office holders and concerns over government spending.
According to Adedeji, Tinubu often walks from his residence to his office and only uses vehicles when travelling to the airport.
“Mr President goes from home to office on foot, not even driving except when he is going to the airport,” he said.
The NRS chairman also claimed that the President eats only once daily and has not travelled outside Nigeria in the past three months.
Adedeji challenged criticism over the use of luxury vehicles by the President’s convoy, saying Tinubu had the means to afford such vehicles before becoming President.
“How much is an Escalade that the President of Nigeria cannot afford?” he asked.
He argued that Tinubu’s daily routine showed commitment to work rather than a life of luxury.
“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?” Adedeji said.
