The result was no consensus. There does appear to be media coverage of this person (how reliable it is is difficult to determine), which means there is at least an argument for notability even as a candidate. But this discussion is too inconclusive to determine this.  Sandstein  06:40, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the observation. Apart from being a governorship candidate of the most populous state in Nigeria, Lagos state. He is also a notable journalist and a founder of Core Media  Services Ltd by extension the CEO of CoreTv News (https://www.coretvnews.com/). You can check here (https://nigeria24.me/core-media-services-ltd). The news outlet is situated in 52 local government development council of Lagos. Ibjaja055 (talk) 12:25, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep — He was until recently a fairly notable broadcaster/journalist and has only raised in notability as a gubernatorial candidate. Plus plenty of media coverage. Watercheetah99 (talk) 14:56, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete. He would have to pass WP:GNG to qualify since he has not held a national office, and most of the reliable media coverage on him is related to his gubernatorial bid. That is to say, if merely running for a national office does not qualify for establishing notability, neither should coverage in reliable media outlets related to running for a national office. Correct me if I'm wrong. Chagropango (talk) 08:40, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Honestlly do not understand how you consider these things. This is a potential next Governor of a state and you do not think he is notable? Such a shame. @Mccapra Oyindebrah (talk) 16:59, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Political candidates are not generally notable. If elected, he will be. Mccapra (talk) 18:28, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
