Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North, has clarified that the APC-led Federal Government did not promise immediate solutions to Nigeria’s problems. Instead, the administration of President Bola Tinubu is implementing gradual but significant reforms. Oshiomhole made this statement while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
The senator emphasized that although the Tinubu administration has been in office for approximately 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.
According to Oshiomhole, President Tinubu is not merely reforming the system but undertaking far-reaching and fundamental changes aimed at correcting long-standing structural problems. The senator 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 cited the example of critics like Peter Obi, who had previously advocated for a change in approach, but are now questioning the government’s radical reforms. He noted that the administration is making progress, with changes occurring daily, and that these reforms are a departure from the old ways of doing things.
The senator’s comments come as the Tinubu administration continues to implement its policies and reforms. The government has faced criticism from some quarters, with some arguing that the pace of change is too slow. However, Oshiomhole’s statement suggests that the administration is committed to making significant changes, even if they take time to materialize.
As the Tinubu administration continues to navigate the complexities of governance, it remains to be seen how its reforms will impact the country in the long run. One thing is certain, however: the administration’s approach to governance is a significant departure from what has been done in the past, and its success or failure will have far-reaching implications for Nigeria’s future.
