Madu, who emerged winner of the Toyota Prado in the draw of the promotion held in Abuja last Friday, said she was shocked when she was intimated with the news of her good fortune.
She said, “I kept dropping the calls from the Glo representative because it was too good to be true. I was eventually persuaded by my colleagues to do a video call with the staff who called me. Even when I saw the office environment, I was still doubtful.” She added that when she eventually agreed to visit the Glo office, she went with a hefty colleague just in case she was being set up.
On his own part, Ufot Victor, a 43-year old businessman who won the Kia Picanto was expectant of winning as he had been recharging regularly so as to meet the minimum requirement for a car. His steadfastness paid off as he drove home the beauty on wheels.
