Adedeji made the remarks during an interview with Channels Television, where journalist Seun Okinbaloye questioned him about the lifestyles of political office holders and whether they reflect the economic realities faced by ordinary Nigerians.

Responding to the discussion, Adedeji argued that the president’s personal lifestyle is far removed from some of the claims circulating on social media, including suggestions that Tinubu regularly uses expensive luxury vehicles such as Cadillac Escalades.

According to the revenue service chairman, Tinubu does not routinely use vehicles to move between his residence and office.

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?”
