The Delta State Government, on Thursday, condemned a social media video suggesting that nurses in the state protested against the wife of the President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, during her recent working visit to the state.

Senator Tinubu visited Asaba, the Delta State capital, on Tuesday to flag off the distribution of 10,000 medical kits for midwives in the South-South region.

In her speech, Tinubu explained that the kits were specifically for midwives, and due to funding constraints, they could not be made available to nurses at that time.

She assured them that they would receive their turn in due course.

However, some nurses, who had hoped to receive kits, were reportedly disappointed by the exclusion, leading to what appeared to be a protest the following day.

A viral video emerged, showing nursing students expressing their dissatisfaction.

A representative of the Delta State Government explained that the video did not accurately reflect the full context of the event.

“We now noticed that there was a viral video that tends to communicate messages that are variance with what the scenario of that moment,”

the representative stated. He further explained that after delivering a speech about the gifts to be distributed to midwives in the South-South region, Mrs. Tinubu reassured the nurses that their packages would be given to them at a later date.

“The wife of the president apologized to nurses because this particular giveaway was meant for the midwives and not the nurses,” he added.

Also, speaking to journalists in Asaba on Thursday, the state Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Charles Aniagwu, said the circulating video was “not entirely a true of what happened at the ceremony.”

He continued, “Our dear First Lady was in our dear state for two good days, not on a holiday, but on a working visit. A whole lot was achieved during that visit, and a lot was given to our people, which has been greatly appreciated.

The commissioner clarified that the First Lady did not visit the School of Nursing in Agbor, explaining that:

“What happened was that she noticed some nurses at the event had expectations regarding the distribution of the medical kits. She apologised to the nurses during the presentation.

She assured the nurses that they would receive their turn in due time through the Renewed Hope Initiative.

“Although some nurses expressed disappointment, there was no hostility or bullying.
“Initially, the nurses were welcoming and happy.

They even danced and cheered as the First Lady spoke. A few of them, however, playfully expressed their feelings by singing a different tune.

This reaction was taken out of context by some individuals on social media, misrepresenting the events to fit their own narratives.

“The viral video, therefore, does not reflect the atmosphere and what truly transpired at the gathering. The commissioner expressed the state government’s appreciation to Mrs Tinubu for her visit and her initiatives.

“We want to say a very big thank you to our First Lady, and our own daughter, who has also shown us love from that Olympian height. She brought in a number of medical kits and other items aimed at helping our younger ones rise and shine.

“We also emphasise that the reaction seen in the video was not characteristic of our nurses but rather a few individuals wishing for equal treatment alongside midwives.”

There is always stories to back stories up

Lol
Big big grammar to cover the disgrace
Next time before you go to where Gen Z are gathered, just tell the MC to respect himself so you don't collect.

That generation don't care, they will pour spit on you. Your husband has caused severe sufferings and hardship, and you are expecting students to call you their mama

She better brace up for more disgrace. If your mission there is to donate something, make the donation without praise singers, after all its not your personal money

Na your mama be that o... oooh...

I'm speechless!


When Mama does something wrong,she can be corrected,but still technically anyone that have a child of your Age is your mama.

We should not transfer the accumulated aggressions caused by the president BOLA TINUBU'S istrations' frustrations on the wife

Where's the disgrace?, Was the first lady at the event?. They were disgruntled over kits meant for the midwives. Did you see the Midwives disgruntled?. The nurses should wait their turn.

Shameless Remi Tinubu, our Military officers and commanders were killed by Islamic terrorist orists, it does not call for protest.
Just because students humiliated a woman who was not elected by the people.
Nigerians are discussing rubbish

You go defend tire
Disgruntled indeed
APC zombies never disappoint, they will always come up with a useless reason
Let her go to another school and call herself our mama.

Why did an overzealous political activist issue a query to one of the nurses? Now that the First Lady has apologized, the school needs to apologise for the sycophancy.

So how will you feel If someone calls a mad woman who is old enough to be your mother "your mama"?

This is strictly in response to your "..... of your age is your mama.......

Damage control gone wrong.

Interesting

You can grab the ballot box and run with it.

You can buy judges to legalize your illegality.

You can buy the armed forces.

You can bribe all morally flexible fools to your side.

But one thing you cannot buy is love.

You can’t force the people to love you.

No matter what Tinubu and his crooked kits do, they will never have the people’s love.

She is a senator herself and carries water for this istration. She can fly into the sun for all we care

Why is the government doing giveaway instead of executing policies that will benefit the people?
This is the weaponization of poverty we are talking about.

No wonder they behaved rowdy and rude. Asaba is now predominantly an igbo town after the aboriginals have been reduced to minority in their own lands.

I said technically.
That she is a mad woman is another story of it's own

Very stingy woman.

They are fooli*h set of people, when they do that to their daughter, I wonder what outsider will do to her

Giveaway wan finish Nigerians who love their chains

At least you must have given them a false hope in the first place by making them into believing there was something special for them only to make a u turn and make an empty promise of no timeline.

Why invite the nurses along with the midwives when the usual available giveaways was only for the midwives? I guess crowd was all that matters hence you got what you didn't envisage.

Respect is better earned than being forced on people.
Those in government should change their ways to avoid further disgraceful public outings in future engagements.

Mrs Gudus don dey shift goalposts for video wen me I watch.. The MC sang that Mrs Gudus was his mother,the nursing sensible students replied,by saying Mrs Gudus is not their mother. They know who dey give them food stuff,and pay their fees.
