Board chairman of Delta State Security Trust Fund Daniel Mayuku received a brand-new Toyota Prado in Globacom’s Festival of Joy promo on Thursday in Warri, Delta State.
At a colourful presentation ceremony witnessed by hundreds of people at Gloworld, Delta Mall, Warri, Mr. Mayuku was presented the keys to his brand-new SUV by the Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Emomotimi Guwor and the chairman of Uvwie Local Government Area Anthony Ofoni.
Friends, admirers and other Glo subscribers joined in the celebration which turned into a carnival in the city with electrifying performances by Ema Dance Troupe.
Mayuku, 57, who emerged winner in the first draw of the promotion held in Warri, expressed gratitude to the digital solutions company.
He said, “When I received the first call that I won a Prado in Glo Festival of Joy promo, I believed it was a scam and I immediately told the caller not to call me again. However, after a few minutes, I started receiving calls from friends and I decided to call my friends in Glo and they confirmed it. I was in disbelief, I thought it was a scam. I jokingly asked for the car immediately and I was told to come to Glo office for verification and today the jeep has just been presented to me. Globacom is truly Nigerian, a network that delights its subscribers every year. They are still the best.”
Other lucky winners also went home with tricycles (Keke), power-generating sets, sewing machines and grinding machines. Ovueve Efejiro, a native of Ughelli, who won a tricycle, said: ”I just won Keke through Festival of Joy promo, I am very grateful to Glo. This Keke will help my family. My brother will use it for commercial purpose immediately.” A generator winner Felix Gabriel thanked Globacom for always remembering Nigerians every year in its annual promos.
Speaking at the presentation, Speaker Guwor, who was the special guest, said: “Globacom is a network that is known for giving. Over the years, many Nigerians have been empowered by Glo. The people of my constituency in Warri South West and entire Delta people are grateful to Glo. We will continue to use Glo and I also want to be part of the winners one day soon. So, I will ensure that my line is always on and ready. Kudos to Glo and our own Dr. Mike Adenuga. Please keep on empowering Nigerians.”
