The Vice President of Nigeria, Senator Kashim Shettima, has asserted that President Bola Tinubu is the most scrutinized politician in the country, despite leading a life of moderation.

During a book launch in Abuja on Thursday, August 15, Shettima expressed his astonishment upon visiting Tinubu’s residence in Bourdillon, Ikoyi, Lagos, where he anticipated a grand mansion but instead encountered a humble abode.

Shettima emphasized that President Tinubu, unlike many other politicians in Nigeria, does not indulge in a lavish lifestyle, noting that his own home in Maiduguri is more luxurious than that of Tinubu.

He urged the Nigerian populace to support the president’s administration. He stated: “In President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we have a leader worthy of our trust.

I am not engaging in political rhetoric; I speak sincerely. I have witnessed the essence of Bola Tinubu, and he possesses a commendable character. “He genuinely cares for the nation.

His ambition is to achieve greatness, not to engage in selfish accumulation of wealth. He aims to create a lasting legacy.

He is the most vilified politician in Nigeria. When I first visited his residence at Bourdillon, I expected to see a palace akin to Buckingham Palace, complete with gardens and swimming pools, yet found nothing extraordinary about the house.

My residence in Maiduguri surpasses that of Bourdillon. “During the early days of the APC, we convened at his home, where a variety of meals were served, but he chose to have garri with groundnut for lunch.

Throughout my acquaintance with him, he has consistently worn the same wristwatch, and I must admit that I dress more elegantly than he does.

He remains indifferent to such matters. He has transcended these superficial concerns. Therefore, we must unite in support of this humble man. He has taken significant steps forward.

The economy we inherited was in disarray. “However, we cannot absolve ourselves of responsibility, as we were part of the Buhari administration.

We are members of the same political family. This is not about assigning blame; it is about addressing the needs of our nation.”
