The State Government has clarified a viral video that misrepresented the First Lady’s two-day tour to improve healthcare delivery in the state.
According Delta State’s Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, CHARLES ANIAGWU, the video does not adequately reflect the events of the visit.
Mr. ANIAGWU added that, contrary to what the video shows, the First Lady did not visit the School of Nursing in Agbor. Instead, she attended an event where nurses expected to receive medical kits but were disappointed when they discovered the kits were mostly for midwives.
The incident occurred on Thursday,when the event’s Master of Ceremony introduced OLUREMI TINUBU as everyone’s mother, a customary title for First Ladies in Nigeria. However, the students responded in unison, Na your mama be this, meaning this is your mother, refusing to accept the designation.
The commissioner emphasised that the video was taken out of context and does not reflect the true atmosphere of the event.
