A student of the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences, Agbor, Osato Edobor, has been issued a query by the school management over her involvement in a viral video allegedly ridiculing First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
The video, which circulated on TikTok, showed nursing students appearing to reject Mrs. Tinubu as their “mother” in a song.
In a query letter dated March 27, 2025, and signed by the Provost of the institution, Mrs. Rita Ogonne Evbodaghe, Edobor was accused of singing, recording, and posting the video online during the First Lady’s visit to the Dome Event Center, Asaba, for the Renewed Hope Initiative Health Programme.
The event involved the distribution of 10,000 professional kits (Crocs and scrubs) to midwives in the South-South geopolitical zone.
The school management stated that Edobor’s actions violated the institution’s Student Handbook, citing “standardised disciplinary action for some punishable offences No. 8, Page 21.”
She has been given 24 hours to respond, explaining why disciplinary action should not be taken against her.
Meanwhile, activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has pledged legal support for Edobor.
Sharing a copy of the query on X, Sowore criticized the move, describing it as repressive.
“The audacious nursing school students who suitably rejected (Tinubu’s) wife, Senator Remi Tinubu, in that ‘Na Your Mama Be This’ song ought to be celebrated. But, as is characteristic of this Tinubu repressive era, one of them is being targeted for sharing this charming rendition on her TikTok page,” Sowore wrote.
He further vowed to use all available legal means to protect the student, stating, “An injury to one is an injury to all.”
