 * Delete. He apparently aspires to run for president, but being an unelected candidate for political office isn't an automatic notability freebie in the absence of any properly sourced demonstration of preexisting notability for other reasons. But nothing else here demonstrates that at all — the infobox lists the Economic Community of West African States, but both it and the body text fail to clarify what role (if any) he actually held with that organization, and the organization's article fails to shed any light on that either. And the sourcing doesn't pass WP:GNG either: there's one article about his announcement of presidential aspirations, which is a type and depth of sourcing that would be simply and routinely expected to exist for anybody who ever declared themselves a candidate in any election, and one primary source that he wrote about himself — and that's nowhere near enough to cut the mustard. Plus the article was created by a user named "Ilajada", meaning somebody needs to read our conflict of interest rules. Bearcat (talk) 23:45, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. How oblivious of him to have stated his interest to run for the presidency in 2015, when he was constitutionally unqualified to be elected. You must be 40 years minimum to be eligible as Nigerian head or deputy head of state, he was merely in his early 30s. He is likely to constest in 2019, since the senate recently reduced the minimum age to 35 but that sounds like CRYSTALBALL to me. Concerning his wealth, we only consider individuals who are billionaires in dollars. He is a billionaire in naira, but a millionare in dollars, so that counts for nothing. He might be rich, but not notably rich. I endorse this delete vote. (orig un-signed entry by Darreg on 20:55, 5 August 2017)
 * Delete. Nothing but self-provided sources. Not notable (or possibly even all factual). Loopy30 (talk) 15:27, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
