There has been some frosty relationship between the former Cross-River State Governor, Donald Duke and Florence Ita-Giwa "Mama Bakassi" as she is fondly called.

Indeed, in May 2022, Ita Giwa knocked Duke for not inviting her to the PDP meeting, saying, “When the destiny and political future of an entire ethnic nationality is to be deliberated upon, it requires that partisanship and chauvinistic sentiments be set aside. All shades of opinion and all tendencies have to be given the space to find expression.

“The recent so-called non-partisan consultation convened by H.E Donald Duke ostensibly to deliberate on governorship power shift to the south and possibility of coming up with a consensus Governorship candidate might have been commendable but for the fact that it was clearly not all inclusive.

“How such an assembly can be called without my involvement and participation is downright insulting not just to my person but the Efik Kingdom of which I represent in my capacity as Mother of the women in the Kingdom.

“It also demonstrates utter disregard for the women of the Southern Senatorial Zone of who by the grace of God, I am a leading light of.

“Even as the matter can be said to be of a political nature, with all modesty I make bold to say I parade the most impressive political portfolio of all political actors in the zone.”

Earlier this year, during Campaign rallies in the Southern part of the State, the 77-year-old followed up with another salvo, saying the former Governor (Duke) came to the State with a briefcase and squatted in a friend’s house (before he became Governor).

Cantonese:
Very Savage response!

Very well calculated. Very well organized. Complete shut up to Mrs. Ita Giwa.

Sometimes when they talk and talk, they seem to think that the right to irresponsible comment rests on them only.

Now Duke has exposed to everyone how she had breast implants. Maybe she can now find some rest and get off Duke's back.

Aesthetically, Florence Ita-Giwa is at liberty, like any other woman, to make effort to look beautiful. Politically, however, there is basically no difference between Donald Duke and Florence Ita-Giwa. They are part of the selfish politicians that keep riding on the back of people of Cross River people to advance political and financial interests since the formation of PDP in 1989. They may change political parties, but their motives remain the same.

What is still baffling today is how Donald Duke, as governor of Cross River State, sunk billions of Naira in Tinapa Project, a project of which he alone seems to understand in the whole in Cross River State because even Liyel Imoke the successor governor he installed abandoned it and successive governors followed suit. The buildings are still there wasting away and he, Donald Duke has not even been able to explain how to put the buildings to use as the one who conceived the project.

All over the world, a massive project as Tinapa comes with a document that shows the plan, the phases, the objectives, cost/benefit analysis, opportunities it offers, scalability, how it will impact other sectors, etc. This helps everybody to buy into the project and successive governments would find it easy to continue or even improve upon. Tinapa looks now like Donald Duke's personal pet vanity project.

Donald Duke should shut the f*ck up.

ZACHIE:
Now, this is the cruelest attack anyone ever dished to any person this year. This is insanely cruel.
Forget all the sweet nonsense, Donald Duke rubbed that woman in the mud. This is unforgivable.

Check that word COURTESAN. Analyse it and understand the bile in Donald Duke.

Wicked.
Ashewo osi.

NwokoloOwa:


Just wait for her further response. I suspecr she will end up saying that Duke has no prick

Sermwell:

Him even talk say she get mind dey fvck soldiers wey dey warfront during civil war. She belonged to the commando girls group

9jatriot:
Okay if you say so, ironically I have not and did not see her own accusations, this response is the first time I am even hearing of a fracas between them. Anyway, it puts Duke in the news at least. It has been long we heard of him.

Okoroawusa:
Is this necessary?

9jatriot:
The last paragraph was what spoilt the letter.

The other parts acknowledged her with all the respects she deserved.

On a second thought, was a public letter even necessary how much older than him the letter says she is.

A private phone call with plenty ma ma and hailing will solve all of these. Things like mama, but you non de PDP na, I non want make your party suspend you for anti party activities na em make I non invite you come that time. A few jibes here and there, then tell her she is still looking hot, matter don end.

Now he has given bloggers materials to feed on.

[/b] Contrarily, Mma Floxy, has been known to be courtesan in her political and business dealings. All said, it will be a betrayal of my upbringing to be abusive or cast aspersions on such a personage. Politics should never be a platform that denigrates the ethos of respect to our elders. Thank You.[b]

Donald did it in the most edifying ways.... He coloured the "oloshoism" with a calmness of an attractive word.




See bad mouth 😂. You call person olosho and still say you no dey abuse am.

Bleiz:
After calling her olosho, high class olosho, you still talk say you don't want to cast aspersions on her

Racoon:
Donald Duke response is epic.

Ofunaofu:


Honestly, I had to read the entire response more than once

The response was well calculated, concise and precise.

No outright insults but he still insulted Mma Floxy

Truly, a very savage response

Cantonese:


Her accusations against Duke were spelt out by Duke in the response. Take you time and read gently.

Duke not the lousy kind of person.

Mama find trouble.
