The Delta State Government has directed the immediate withdrawal of the disciplinary query issued to Osato Edobor, a nursing student at the Delta State College of Nursing Sciences, Agbor.
The query was initially issued after Edobor recorded and shared a viral video rejecting First Lady Remi Tinubu as “mother of the nation” during her visit to Delta State.
Key Details:
- Government’s Decision: The Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme, confirmed the withdrawal of the query, emphasizing that the government does not intend to victimize any student over the incident. He assured the public that the administration is committed to upholding students’ rights and fostering a conducive learning environment.
- Public Reaction: The query had sparked outrage on social media, with many criticizing the college’s decision as an infringement on freedom of expression. Activists and public figures had called for the withdrawal of the disciplinary action.
- Student’s Confirmation: Dr. Onojaeme revealed that he personally reached out to Edobor, who confirmed that the query letter was rescinded late Thursday night.
This resolution reflects the government’s responsiveness to public concerns and its commitment to fairness.
