Subject is not notable, fails WP:GNG and WP:PROF. Most sources are only passing mentions, the two sources that give the most support are a transcript of an interview and one about his recent death. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 05:09, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Weak Keep: Special Adviser to the President of any Country, especially one with a dedicated ministry such as Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs is a good claim of notability. Weak because it is not an elective position. For what it 's worth, his predecessor (Paul Boroh) was notable. HandsomeBoy (talk) 22:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

• Delete I’m not completely convinced that the subject’s special adviser roles would make them notable, but I’d be more inclined to agree if there was anything substantive to be said about his work in those roles - i.e. if the article focused on the things that provide the claim of notability that would make sense. However the article says nothing about them so they don’t seem, after all, to have been that important. Mccapra (talk) 07:08, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

• Keep, I was able to find lots of sources in major Nigerian newspapers about this man, in addition to the obituaries I could find sources such as this in Vanguard, this in Sahara Reporters and this in P.M. News, among many other sources. In short, he clearly passes WP:GNG. Devonian Wombat (talk) 03:01, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm not convinced he passes WP:PROF but with plenty of national-level news coverage for his work for the amnesty program, his removal from the program and rebel threats to resume fighting after his removal, and for his recent death, he appears to pass WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:53, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
• Weak Keep David Eppstein makes a fair point, closing AfD. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 04:49, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
