FCT, Abuja - First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu said students in moments of excitement, often express themselves in a light-hearted and jovial manner.

Legit.ng recalls that the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences issued a query to a student nurse, Osato Edobor, for recording and posting a video during First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s visit to Asaba.

The College of Nursing also threatened to punish Edobor as the video in which student nurses embarrassed First Lady Oluremi Tinubu went viral on social media.

Mrs Tinubu stated this via reacting to the query issued to some of the students of the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences over the viral video of a song rejecting her as their mother.

The First Lady explained that the Renewed Hope Initiative was primarily to motivate midwives across the nation.

Senator Oluremi said it aim to reduce infant and maternal mortality, and morbidity in Nigeria.

This was contained in a statement issued by Busola Kukoyi, SSA Media to the First Lady on Friday, March 28, 2025 and made available to Legit.ng.

“However, a section of the video, allegedly recorded by some students at the event, showed a spontaneous and playful twist to the welcome song. Sequel to that, it has come to our attention that some of the students of the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences have been issued a query regarding their participation in the chants. While the Office of the First Lady of Nigeria respects the right of institutions to uphold discipline, it is important to recognize that students, in moments of excitement, often express themselves in a light-hearted and jovial manner.”
