Delta Nursing School Queries Student After Agbor Incident With First Lady

By John Ogunsemore

A student of the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences, Agbor, Osato Edobor, has been queried by the school management for her role in an incident involving First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.

Daily Sun reports that Edobor was queried after a video showing students of the school appearing to ridicule the president’s wife went viral on TikTok.

In the video, the nursing students can be heard gleefully rejecting Mrs. Tinubu as their mother.

The query letter dated March 27, 2025, was signed by Provost of the institution, Mrs. Rita Ogonne Evbodaghe.

The school management accused Edobor of singing and recording during the incident as well as circulating the video online.

The management said her conduct contravened provisions of the Student Handbook.

“It has come to the notice of the school authority that you, Student Nurse Osato Edobor on the 25th of March, 2025 during official visit of the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON at Dome Event Center, Asaba for the Renewed Hope Initiative Health Programme and distribution of 10,000 Professional Kits (Crocs and Scrubs) to Midwives in each Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria South South Zone, was found to be engage in malicious act of recording/singing and posting unofficial response to song during the arrival of the First Lady (found on your TitTok Page),” the letter reads in part.

The management said Edobor’s alleged action “is a punishable offence as enshrined in the Student Handbook under standardised disciplinary action for some punishable offences No. 8, Page 21.”

She was given 24 hours to respond and explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against her.

Meanwhile, activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has vowed to provide legal backing to the student.

Sharing a copy of the query issued to Edobor on X on Friday, Sowore said, “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.

“We will be providing backing to this lady with all our physical and legal might to ensure the authorities at Delta State College of Nursing Sciences do not perpetrate this egregious act of injustice, as an injury to one is an injury to all.”
