President Bola Tinubu has celebrated Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, a prominent politician, on her 80th birthday.

Ita-Giwa served as the representative of Cross River South Senatorial District of Cross River State from 1999 to 2003.

In a statement released by his Media Office, President Tinubu joined the family and friends of Ita-Giwa to celebrate the milestone, acknowledging her decades of service to the nation.

The President described her as a resilient and courageous Nigerian who broke the political glass ceiling, serving as the Chairman of the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC) for Delta State and elected a member of the House of Representatives (1992-93).

He stated that Ita-Giwa, fondly called Mama Bakassi for her impassioned advocacy for the area, charted a hitherto less-travelled path and set an example for other women.
