Aside being a commissioner for a brief period, I could only find passing mentions about the subject which isn't enough to meet Wikipedia's notability guideline. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 14:42, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She fails every notes on WP:POLITICIAN. You should also note that WP:POLOUTCOMES is an essay not a deletion guideline or policy. From findings, she has never held any remarkable political position or ran for a political office and she has not received significant press coverage. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 08:52, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Being the leader of a small, newly registered political party without existing representation in the legislature is not in and of itself a free pass over WP:NPOL — it would be enough for an article if she were the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG for it, but it is not enough to hand her an automatic inclusion freebie in the absence of solid sources. But the sources here simply aren't cutting it: #1 and #7 are primary sources; #2 is a non-notable blog; #3, #5 and #8 are needless repetition of the same post to a user-generated discussion forum; #4 verifies a tangential fact about the political party she used to be associated with but fails to mention her name in conjunction at all; and #6 just glancingly namechecks her existence in an article that isn't about her. This is not the kind of sourcing that it takes to make someone eligible for a Wikipedia article. And no, this is not a systemic bias issue, either: Nigeria does have real newspapers that can support a proper GNG pass without needing us to give it some sort of "bad sources are okay because it's Nigeria" exemption.
