@gimbakakanda @Ayourb You guys are so unlearned. If you ever did anything well you would have been renowned as @richardlevick or @abati1990

@abati1990 #PresidentialReadingTime #throwback Ask that dude to sum up what he read. I bet he would set up committee to do that for him.

And…
As from today, future heads of state & governors will take pictures reading books (not burning them, hopefully). Can we now all rest?
