Oshiomhole backs Tinubu’s policies, says government never promised miracles

By Seyi Babalola

Senator Adams Oshiomhole of Edo North has stated that the APC-led Federal Government has not promised Nigerians quick miracles, emphasising that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is implementing gradual but important changes.

Oshiomhole made the statements on Wednesday while answering questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today program.

According to him, despite the fact that the Tinubu administration has been in office for approximately two and a half years, there are observable changes happening on a daily basis as a result of continuous reforms.

He argued that critics who previously demanded a departure from old approaches are now questioning the government for adopting a radically different path.

Oshiomhole said the president is not merely reforming the system but undertaking far-reaching and fundamental changes aimed at correcting long-standing structural problems.

He maintained that the administration should be judged based on the direction and substance of its policies rather than expectations of immediate outcomes, stressing that meaningful change requires time.

Oshiomhole said: “We did not promise miracles. In two and a half years of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, every day there is something changing.

“And like I said, this is a society in which people like Peter Obi will say, ‘you can’t keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome.’

“Okay, now Tinubu is doing something totally different, not just reforming, but radically reforming. And then you say, ‘Why is he reforming?’”
