During a visit to Delta State School of Nursing, Agbor, students are making headlines on social media for refusing to follow a song that was used to welcome Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu.
According to reports, the President’s wife traveled to Delta State on Tuesday to promote free treatment programs for the nation’s HIV/AIDS sufferers.
Speaking to the Delta State Traditional Rulers Council in Asaba, Remi Tinubu emphasized the effects of HIV/AIDS, particularly on youth, and urged
traditional leaders to promote health causes, such as the abolition of female genital mutilation, and raise awareness of them.
A video circulating online prior to the speech captures the Master of Ceremony (MC) using a song to declare the First Lady the mother of the country.
Nevertheless, the students disregarded the declaration and called the first lady the mother of the MC.
Remi Tinubu has assured citizens that better times are coming and expressed her steadfast belief that the nation is moving closer to complete recovery.
According to reports, Senator Tinubu stressed the government’s resolve to address national issues and improve the welfare of Nigerians at an Iftar gathering held at the State House in Abuja.

The First Lady noted that although the road to recovery calls for patient, tremendous progress is already being made in a statement issued by her media adviser, Busola Kukoyi.
The issue of compassion and mercy in human relationships was the subject of the event, which brought together notable women from all around the country, including the vice president’s wife, former First Lady Dame Patience Jonathan, wives of state governors, female ministers, and wives of service leaders.
During the Iftar lecture, Professor Azeezat Adebayo, who is the head of the Islamic Studies Department at the University of Ilorin, stressed the value of kindness and compassion in building solid human bonds.
Ramadan is a time for reflection, she said, and it encourages individuals to be kind to others regardless of their social or religious background.
