Delta State College of Nursing Science has bowed to pressure and withdrawn the query letter issued to a student, Osatohemwen Edobor, over a recorded video of an event that had the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, in attendance.

Edobor was earlier issued a query by the college for posting the video of the nursing students rebuffing attempt by the master of ceremonies to rally them to eulogise Tinubu’s wife in a call-and-response song.

According to an eyewitness account of what landed Edobor the query from the college during a ‘health programme and distribution of 10,000 professional kits’ event in Asaba, Delta State, the compere had raised a song eulogising Mrs Tinubu, saying, “Na awa mama be this; we no get another one,” but the nursing students rejected his song, responding, “Na your mama be this.”

The query letter to Edobor had caused public outrage, attracting criticisms from many Nigerians.

Following the criticisms, in a letter dated Friday, March 28, 2025, and signed by school provost Mrs. R. Evbödaghe, the college withdrew the query issued to Edobor.

“The Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme, in his magnanimity, has directed the school authority to withdraw the query issued to you on the 27th of March, 2025.

“You are, therefore, to return the query letter through the student affairs officer to the office of the provost.

“The school authority regrets any inconveniences this must have caused the state,” the letter stated.
