The article claims he contested to be governor of Lagos in 1997 and 2003 but I can't find any reliable source to support that claim. This politician obviously fails WP:GNG. I know he will be contesting for the PDP ticket in 2015 elections but that is not notability since anyone can decide to contest in any political-party primary election. Democracy came to Nigeria in 1999 so we can safely rule out the 1997 claim. In 2003 he probably made only his party's primaries but not the main election.

Being a candidate for an election that the person didn't win is not a claim of notability that gets a person past WP:NPOL, so the only thing we can measure him against is WP:GNG. But there's not a single reliable source being cited here (#1 is a discussion forum, #2 is a blog and #3 is his own campaign's promotional Facebook page), so GNG is not satisfied. No prejudice against recreation if he wins election to office in 2015, but he's not entitled to keep a campaign brochure on Wikipedia in the meantime. Delete.

Delete Doesn't meet GNG and there's no evidence he meets WP:POL. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 23:42, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
