Delta Govt Orders Withdrawal Of Query Issued To Nursing Student Who Recorded Viral Remi Tinubu Video
The Delta State Government has directed the immediate withdrawal of the query issued to Nursing Student Osato Edobor by the Provost of the School of Nursing Sciences, Agbor.
The directive was given in a statement by the state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme.
The statement said the decision by the Commissioner stems from a commitment to ensuring that the rights of every student in health sciences and related health programmes are upheld, fostering a conducive learning environment for their academic excellence.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that Edobor was issued a query for recording and sharing a viral video of students refusing to acknowledge First Lady Oluremi Tinubu as “their mother” during her visit to Delta State.
In an official query dated 27th March 2025, the school’s provost, Evbodaghe Rita Ogonne, accused Edobor of engaging in a “malicious act” by posting the footage on TikTok.
The letter stated that her actions violated the institution’s rules and demanded that she provide a written explanation within 24 hours.
The controversy began when Tinubu visited Delta for the Renewed Hope Initiative Health Programme, where she distributed 10,000 medical kits to midwives.
During the event, an MC led a chant of “Na our mama be this o,” but the students instead responded, “Na your mama,” rejecting the intended sentiment.
The video quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online.
Meanwhile, the school management after the directive from the state government, has withdrawn the query.
