The Management of Delta State College of Nursing Sciences, Agbor, has threatened to take strict disciplinary action against the student nurse, Osato Edobor, who allegedly posted a song against First Lady, Sen Remi Tinubu, on her TikTok handle.
It was reported that the students of the nursing school rejected a song introduced by the Master of Ceremony (MC), calling the wife of the President the mother of the nation.
The students said Mrs. Tinubu was the MC’s mother and not theirs, nor that of the nation.
The First Lady visited the school, on Tuesday, to distribute 10,000 professional kits (Crocs and Scrubs), as part of her health programme.
In the letter signed by the school’s Provost, Evbodaghe Rita Ogonne, dated March 27, the student nurse identified as Osato Edobor committed a punishable offence for allegedly posting the song against the First Lady on TikTok.
It read: “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 COM, 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 engage in malicious act of recording/singing and posting unofficial response to song during the arrival of the First Lady (found on your TikTok page).
