Adedeji Says Tinubu Walks to Work and Eats Once Daily Amid Spending Debate

Nigeria Revenue Service Executive Chairman Zacch Adedeji has defended President Bola Tinubu against claims that public officials are living lavishly while Nigerians face rising costs. Speaking during a Channels Television interview, Adedeji said Tinubu walks from his residence to his office, eats once daily and has not travelled abroad in the past three months. He also dismissed concerns about the President's alleged convoy of luxury vehicles, arguing that Tinubu could afford them. The remarks have renewed debate over government spending, official convoys and the contrast between political leaders' lifestyles and the economic hardship faced by many Nigerians. The claim that the President treks to work has also sparked sarcastic reactions online, with some Nigerians joking that he should be given transport fare.

The defence focuses on Tinubu's lifestyle, but the public frustration mentioned is clearly tied to how difficult daily life has become.

Walking to work and eating once daily may be notable, yet it does not by itself settle questions about government spending priorities.

Clear spending figures, regular public updates, and visible cost-cutting measures would make this kind of defence easier for people to assess.
