Omoyele Sowore Steps In To Support Nursing Student Facing Consequences For Anti-First Lady Song

Omoyele Sowore Speaks Out Against Threats to Student Nurse Over TikTok Song

Listen up, folks. The former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, is making waves again. This time, he’s taking a stand against Delta State College of Nursing in Agbor. Why? Because they’re threatening a student nurse who posted a song criticizing First Lady Oluremi Tinubu on TikTok. That’s right—this isn’t just about a social media post; it’s about free expression and standing up to those who try to silence it.

School’s Provost Issues Warning to Student Nurse

According to Naija News, the Provost of the school, Evbodaghe Rita Ogonne, fired off a letter on March 27. In it, she accused the student nurse, identified as Osato Edobor, of committing a punishable offense by posting the song. Now, here’s the kicker: the school’s Student Handbook spells out disciplinary actions for certain offenses, and this act falls squarely under that category. The letter laid down the law, demanding that Edobor provide a written explanation in triplicate within 24 hours of receiving the letter. Why? To justify why disciplinary action shouldn’t be taken against her. Pretty intense, right?

Sowore Steps Up to the Plate

Sowore didn’t take this sitting down. On Friday, he fired back on his 𝕏 handle, declaring that any disciplinary action against Edobor would be a gross injustice. And let me tell you, Sowore didn’t stop there. He promised to rally behind Edobor, ensuring she has all the legal and physical support needed to fight back against the school’s heavy-handed approach. He wasn’t just going to sit by and watch this happen.

A Celebration of Courage, Not Punishment

In his post, Sowore expressed that the student nurse who dared to challenge the status quo with the catchy “Na Your Mama Be This” song deserves celebration, not punishment. But here we are, in what he calls the “Tinubu repressive era,” where speaking out can land you in hot water. Sowore emphasized that targeting a student for expressing herself is a direct affront to justice. “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,” he wrote. And you know what they say—an injury to one is an injury to all.

Sowore’s response is a powerful reminder that standing up for what’s right isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary. It’s about supporting the brave individuals who dare to speak up, even when the odds are stacked against them. So, let’s keep our eyes on this story because it’s far from over.
