Excitement as Port Harcourt Lawyer wins house in Glo Festival of Joy promo
It was another moment of joy and celebrations in Port Harcourt, Rivers
State, on Friday as a lawyer, Chimeka Woke, received the keys to a
3-bedroom apartment won in the ongoing Festival of Joy promo packaged by
foremost digital services company, Globacom.
26-year -old Woke, a father of one, said he could not believe his ears
when he received a call from Globacom. According to him, he had just
dropped off his recuperating father in the hospital for a physiotherapy
session and was waiting when his phone rang only to be told that he had
won a 3-bedroom apartment.
“I literally abandoned my dad and ran to the Glo office on Aba road just
to be sure I heard well”, he said, adding that “ it sounded too good to
be true for someone staying in his father’s Boys’ Quarters to be called
and told he had just won a house”.
Woke who was full of gratitude to Globacom for initiating and
sustaining the promo said, “ It was as if God and Globacom were
monitoring me”, adding that he had been thinking in the last few weeks
on how to mobilize funds to rent an apartment that his small family of
wife and daughter would move into.
The Chairman of Ahoada Local Government Area, Barrister Ben Eke, paid
glowing tribute to Globacom, which he said had a reputation for giving
back to society. He said, “For giving people opportunity to own a house,
I must congratulate you. I am going to be your ambassador in propagating
your good works”.
Also Eze Orlu Ekpodota 1, His Royal Highness, Eze (Dr) Anugbom Onuhua
said “for what Globacom has done today, I am going to be an ambassador
of the company, telling people what you are doing”.
