Naija News reports that Ita-Giwa asserted while reacting to the sexual harassment allegation levelled against Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, by the senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
She said, “By the time you contest elections and get to senate, you have passed that stage of your life of being sexually harassed.”
In response to Ita-Giwa, via a post on X, Betty shared a video of former Meta employee, Sara Wynn-Williams, who made an allegation of sexual harassment.

She said, “Where is Florence Ita-Giwa? She needs to watch this video. Shebi, she come say woman senator no fit experience sexual harassment.
“That for the mere fact of contesting and winning the election to become a senator, she is almost like a man. Are you serious now, madam former senator?
