Many professors failed to read out numbers in words on live telecast during coalition of election results.

If you observe, almost everybody now only call out each figure one by one as if you are calling a phone number. Not everybody is good with numbers but the governor should have rehearsed before presentation to avoid such a mistake.

APC always find something to back their useless leaders up they never see good things

He is g what he can't read. It's well. My advice for him is to get a trusted ally that will vet every single document before he appends his signature on it. Good luck to him.
