No Miracles Promised!” — Oshiomhole Defends Tinubu’s Government Amid Rising Criticism Nigerians React

Senator Adams Oshiomhole, who represents Edo North, has praised the administration of President Bola Tinubu, saying it is delivering steady and meaningful reforms.

Speaking on Wednesday during an appearance on Politics Today on Channels Television, the former Edo State governor said the APC-led Federal Government never assured Nigerians of instant solutions to the country’s challenges.

According to Oshiomhole, although President Tinubu has been in office for just over two and a half years, tangible changes are emerging daily as a result of the administration’s reform agenda.

He noted that some critics who once called for a break from outdated methods are now questioning the government for pursuing a bold and different approach.

Oshiomhole stressed that Tinubu is not merely adjusting existing systems but implementing deep and fundamental reforms designed to address long-standing structural issues.

He argued that the government should be assessed based on the direction and substance of its policies rather than expectations of immediate results, adding that lasting transformation takes time.

“We never promised miracles. In the two and a half years of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, something is changing every day,” Oshiomhole said.

He added, “This is the same society where people, including Peter Obi, have argued that you cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Now that Tinubu is doing something entirely different — not just reforming, but radically reforming — the same people are asking why he is reforming.”
