Last Sunday Senator Florence Ita-Giwa who turned 73
shocked all her guests with her youthful looks and charming disposition.
Nothing seem to have changed over the years except that
Senator Florence Ita Giwa just keeps looking more beautiful and more prosperous!
Age is a number and birthdays are just there as days
and seasons for choice wines and the savouring of good food.
For Senator Florence Ita Giwa, a newer life starts at
73! No wonder the happy grandmother and one time Presidential Adviser on
National Assembly Matters to Ex President Olusegun Obasanjo, sprang a surprise
on ‘high-society,’ when she had the official opening of her top-notch
restaurant 'Echos of Calabar' at
highbrow Victoria Island on her birthday!
At 73, no personal victory was sweeter, than being up
and doing in good health and in the company of good friends who have been there
for her, over the years.
The restaurant boasts of an array of sumptuous
tastefully prepared local and continental delicacies. Trust Mama Calabar, all
the beauty of Calabar dishes was on display.
Friends of Mama Bakassi as she is also fondly called were
there to celebrate her double joy with her. Some of those who were there
included: Princess Abbah Folawiyo, Mr. and Mrs. Rufai and Funmi Ladipo, Alli
baba, Ini Edo, Kemen, Ifu Enada, AY and his wife, Helen Paul, Shola Shobowale,
Ngozi Nwosu, Uti Uwachukwu, Ndidi Obiorah, and society-writers Azuka Ogujibuwa
and Bayo Adeoye, among others.
Guests had numerous sumptuous meal options to choose from,
and were treated to champagne, cognac, vodka, red and white wines, assorted
soft drinks, among other categories of drinks. After all, it was Senator
Florence Ita Giwa’s birthday soiree!
Nice!
