Senator Florence Ita-Giwa and friends held a dinner party, which held at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island,Lagos.
The dinner was to celebrate the Senator’s doctorate degree from the University of Calabar and the formal presentation of a coffee table book on her style,titled
‘At a Good Place’ written by editor of Vanguard Allure Magazine, Mrs Remmy Diagbare.
The 210 pg book chronicles her style evolution from her early years to her giant strides in politics, and her activism on behalf of the Bakassi people. In her speech Sen Ita-Giwa said, she plans to publish two more books; her memoirs and a book on
legislative matters. In an emotion laden voice, she spoke about the pains and
struggles of the Bakassi people and how it is her lifelong ambition to
> see the people properly resettled.” I will continue the struggle till the end.” She said.
On her style ,she said, she will never stop being
fashionable.” I don’t understand, why women feel that once they turn 60, they should stop being trendy. I will always look trendy, and will wear heels even when I am 80” Author of the book, Mrs Diagbare, said the book which took two months to finish was only a tip of the essence of the Senator.”There are so many sides to the senator. This is just an easy read. A book you can flip through while waiting for someone.” Although, the senator would not sell the book,and so would not put a price to it, donations for the books would be made to the Bakassi Foundation.
