The Chief Executive Officer of Tigo Ghana, Mr. Carlos Caceres stole the show during a presentation ceremony at head office of the company today when he drove a taxi from the boundary road into the compound of the company.<\/p>\n
The taxi belongs to a 62-year old Mr. Edmund Boateng who won the grand prize of the Tigo Christmas Bonanza and took home a Mercedes ML plus a cash prize of GHC150,000.<\/p>\n
Whiles Mr. Boateng was having a ceremonial ride in his new car Mr. Caceres also took the keys to the taxi and drove behind the winners in a convoy, calling out \u201cdropping, dropping!\u201d just like taxi drivers do when they need passengers. Mr. Caceres, spotting a Tigo cap, striped blue and white t-shirt and jeans, got all the staff of Tigo, guests at the ceremony and prize winners chasing after his taxi and taking pictures of him.<\/p>\n
He jokingly told journalists \u201cI have found a new job.\u201d Earlier on, Mr. Caceres presented the grand prize to Edmund Boateng who also spotted a traditional kente cloth with his wife standing by his side. Mr. Boateng told Adom News he was resting at home when he got a call that he had won the grand prize and he drove to the scene where the draw was being held and found out that it was true. \u201cWhen I got to the scene, I could not hold back my tears \u2013 I was so happy I cried,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He told Adom News he lives in a rented apartment at Palladium in Accra so he will use the GHC150,000 to build his own house. \u201cAs for the car, I am 62 years old, I am an old man so I will enjoy it myself till I die,\u201d he said. Mr. Boateng, a native of Kwahu Pepease, urged Ghanaians to take part in the Tigo promotions because \u201cthey are authentic.\u201d Two other prize winners were presented with GHC10,000 cedis each at the ceremony.<\/p>\n
A Computer Engineering student of IPMC, Frank Ayeetey said he will use his prize money to further his education and take care of a few family issues, while Kumasi-based Agro-Chemical dealer, Francis Nkrumah-Sarpong said he will invest in his business. Beside the grand prize, a total of 1,186 customers won a total of GHC570,000 in cash prizes plus lots of free credits in the 13-week promotion.<\/p>\n
The Advertising and Media Manager of Tigo, Mr. Enoch Tetteh Quaynor Vanderpuye said, in a few days Tigo would unveil another promotion that would give bigger prizes to customers than the Christmas Bonanza did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
