'Many Nigerians eat better food in their homes than the president' - Dr. Reuben Abati

Dr Reuben Abati is the Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Jonathan.Below is an excerpt of a recent interview he had with Daily Sun ,



What is his (President) favourite food?

I think I have written about it. And he too likes to crack jokes. You know, he read an article once and he came to report back to us that he just read a piece somewhere and maybe somebody said something that "if you go to the Villa, the President consumes a whole turkey at every meal. He said why would somebody write that. Is it possible for one human being to sit down and consume one whole turkey in the morning and another one in the afternoon and another in the evening? The president eats very simple food. What do I consider his favourite foods? Pepper soup, yam, boiled plantain.

He is not a salad person? He doesn't do salad and all those stuffs?

When do they even serve salads? Maybe on Sunday afternoon, because when he leaves church and goes home, some guests may come back home with him and he will have lunch with them. And what does he eat? Rice. In fact, many Nigerians eat better food in their homes than the president.
