Speaking to newsmen after the exercise, the Managing Director of the organizing company, SeaDavids Services Limited, Dr Nnamdi Okechukwu said the tickets were bought by residents across the 21 local government areas of the state.

“We went round the whole 21 local government areas of the state to distribute and collate tickets with our agents. That’s why you see the number of tickets today.

“We had promised punters when we began that this event would be as transparent as possible and that’s what we have so far maintained.

While revealing the extension of the competition till December, Okechukwu assured called on residents to take advantage of the extension date to key into the exercise so they could be part of the lucky winners.

“We’re satisfied with the exercise so far because the major aim of the empowerment program, and putting smiles on people’s faces, was achieved.

“You can imagine how someone is going home with a brand new motorcycle with only N2,000.

“Since the competition has been extended to December 5 and proved to be real and genuine, go out there, locate our agents and get as many tickets as you can. You may be the lucky winners,” he said.

The organizers also revealed that they had created a N500 naira ticket to enable low-income people to participate and win in the exercise.
