Politician and philanthropist,
Florence Ita Giwa aka Mama Bakassi, says she has no comment on the crisis currently
confronting Nigeria’s ex petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison Madueke.
In a chat with The Sun,
Ita Giwa said: “I really don’t think it’s in my place to give an opinion on the
lady at this time. All I can say is that politics and leadership at the highest
level is a spiritual thing. I have always said that if you do good you will
reap good and conversely, if you sow bad seeds you will reap an abundant
harvest of bad. We don’t know where this matter will end now, so it is best to
just watch and see.”
Ita Giwa also opened up on
what inspired her foundation. Hear her: “The
Foundation For The Children Of Bakassi was set up primarily to promote the
wellbeing of thousands of disadvantaged Bakassi children who through no fault
of theirs have been rendered homeless and almost hopeless by the ceding of
their ancestral homeland to Cameroon.
“What we
do is taking in as many children as possible and providing them a decent home
as well as the best quality education. Today, some of the children have passed
through the best primary and secondary schools in Calabar and are in the best
private universities in Nigeria and Ghana. Upon graduation in a few years, they
shall be proceeding to Europe and the Americas for postgraduate studies,” Mama
Bakassi concluded.
