Barely three days to the February 25 presidential election in Nigeria, the vice-presidential candidate of Labour Party, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, is confident of victory in Lagos State, the state with the highest number of registered voters.

“I’m losing modesty here. He’s a correct degree earner, which others cannot show you. I know Kwankwaso says he has a PhD; I don’t boast about a PhD or two master’s degrees.
