We will defend threatened Nursing Student over 1st Lady song – Sowore

Former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has condemned the Delta State College of Nursing, Agbor, for threatening disciplinary action against a student, Osato Edobor, over a TikTok post featuring a song against First Lady Oluremi Tinubu.

In a letter dated March 27, the school’s provost, Evbodaghe Rita Ogonne, accused Edobor of committing a punishable offence under the institution’s disciplinary rules and demanded a written explanation within 24 hours.

Reacting on Friday via his 𝕏 handle, Sowore denounced the school’s move, calling it an injustice. He pledged full legal and physical support for Edobor to prevent any punitive action against her.

“The audacious nursing school students who suitably rejected Bola 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,” he wrote.

“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.”
