| ‘we Never Promised Miracles’ – Oshiomhole Defends Tinubu’s Reforms by Bobloco(op): 2:52am On Jan 22 |
Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North, has said that the APC-led Federal Government did not promise Nigerians instant miracles, insisting that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is implementing gradual but significant changes. Oshiomhole made the remarks on Wednesday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme. According to him, although the Tinubu administration has been in office for about two and a half years, noticeable changes are occurring daily as a result of ongoing 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?’” https://dailypost.ng/2026/01/21/we-never-promised-miracles-oshiomhole-defends-tinubus-reforms/ |

If you know how backwards APC set Nigeria since 2015, you will fight against Tinubu’s reelection with everything you have left |

Switruth:Actually, big politicians rarely go to prison in Nigeria, that's why this country is still a shit-hole. Wrongdoing has no consequences in Nigeria. |

Those who are expecting overnight miracles can be regarded as unserious ones. Rome wasn't built in a day |

The same way he supported the Effigy from Daura and kept on deceiving brainless supporters that the Effigy was performing wonders, only for it to be exposed that his government was ridden with monumental corruption and incompetence. He has started again. |

They alway find excuse for their poor leaders....Didn't Tinubu promise to give the country stable light in 4 years...? If the transformation is visible and the people are feeling the positive impact they will not need to defend bad governance.I will be well with Nigeria. |

He said the same thing during buhari's time, these politicians take us for a ride and disrespect us on a daily basis, there is no where in the world a politician talks like this except in Nigeria. We need to start respecting ourselves and rejecting this poverty infectors. |

helinues:They didn't say you should build Rome, they said make the lives of citizens better, is that too much to ask. With the money coming in to Nigeria's coffers every month, that Rome can be built in Nigeria in a day, a day doesn't mean one day in this sense but means the time they have. We don't have leaders what we have are corrupt squanderers, keep supporting them, one day just one day you will go down with them. Imagine supporting this kind of character, Oshomole, people that tell you to your face they will eat your collective money and you will do nothing. Like someone said, they will all go to jail one day including you political jobbers. Shebbi the masses are unserious ones and you are the serious one because you get leftover crumbs from them? The day of reckoning will definitely come, it's a must, that day must surly come |

The 2025 budget was unfunded. Wale Edun got sidelined for coming out clean. Local contractors are literally protesting every day and demanding for their payments at the ministry of finance headquarters. Tinubu has already outborrowed all previous presidents in just over two years. They sold subsidy removal as the silver bullet. Now tax is the new snake oil being sold. |
