Former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has vowed to provide backing for Osato Edobor, the nursing student who was summoned by the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences for sharing an unauthorised video on TikTok about the way the First Lady Oluremi Tinubu was embarrassed by her colleagues at the school.
In a letter, the authorities of the school said::
"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 diatribution 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).
"This is a punishable offence as enshrined in the Student Handbook under standardised disciplinary action for some punishable offences No. 8, Page 21.
"You are therefore requested to explain in writing in triplicate copies within 24hours of receipt of this letter why disciplinary action should not be taken against you for this act."
The letter was signed by Evbodaghe Rita Ogonne, the Provost, Delta State College of Nursing Sciences.
Reacting, Sowore said the audacious nursing school students who suitably rejected President Bola Tinubu's wife in that "Na Your Mama Be This" song ought to be celebrated.
He lamented that as is characteristic of the Tinubu repressive era, one of them is being targeted for sharing the "charming rendition on her TikTok page."
He said, "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."
