Between Abbah Folawiyo and Florence Ita Giwa
According to Nicole Richie, true friends are like diamonds - bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style. This is exactly how to describe the friendship between Abba Folawiyo and Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, two ageless women of substance.
With them, there can’t be any better definition of true friendship. They are like two bodies in one soul; and they, no doubt, understand the spirit and letter of friendship. Their friendship, to those who have been following their stories, has stood the test of times. And you won’t be exaggerating if you describe it as friends made in heaven.
In some sense, they have a unique way of appreciating each other. As proof of their abiding love, trust and understanding, they have been together for several decades.
A source disclosed that one would never go to any high-octane party in Lagos or outside Lagos without the other one.
“Though they sometimes have different opinions on certain issues and even moments of disagreement, they never seek a third party intervention in their affairs,” a source said.
Folawiyo, called Sisi Abba, is a showstopper any time, any day. If you are not drawn to her commanding dress sense, you will be stopped in your track owing to her graceful steps.
On her part, Senator Ita-Giwa, a politician and philanthropist, is widely acknowledged to have positively impacted her society. She is recognized as one of the most famous women in the Nigerian social and political circles. She has remained relevant even after many years of leaving government.
