Mr Njoku, who was all smiles as he picked-up the keys and document to his car said the win has reinforced his faith in the brand he has patronized for over a decade.
“Gulder is the ultimate. Gulder is the real drink. It is the best brand. It has been my brand for over 10 years. I advise my guys, everybody, switch to Gulder,” he said.
Narrating how he heard that he had won, Njoku said: “We were in the spirit of sallah, celebrating with my Muslim friends when they called me that I had won a brand new Hyundai Elantra. At the first instance, I never believed it. I thought it was a scam. It was when I later called back that I was told this is for real; that they were calling me directly from the draw at Okpara Square in Enugu. That was when I started believing a little bit. The following day, they, called again to tell me that they are going to make a presentation on Wednesday which is today and I should make myself available with my friends and family to cheer me up and that if anybody calls me to send any money or my bank details that I should not listen to such a person because Nigerian Breweries doesn’t take money before giving the prizes to customers who win during promotions. That was when I believed it. I am more than excited”.
