Thank you for picking this up. I will keen to your review and please be patient with me in particular since there is sometimes problem of connectivity in Nigeria. This is a very good article and I will ask you don't use sift hand while reviewing. If there is any changes, I am more than willing to do that immediately Safari Scribe ^{Edits!

I'll undertake reviewing this nomination.

Well-written

Verifiable

Neutral

Stable

The article passes this criteria, small vandalism has occurred in the past, but the article is not part of any large vandalism campaign or edit war.

Illustration

Lead image should be enough to fit this criteria, I am unsure about the copyright status of the image used. The image comes from a news publication, which usually has images protected by copyright. Though I wasn't able to find a specific copyright statement on the publication's website, it's likely the images used in the publication are still protected. If I find some definitive proof of the image's copyright status, the article will pass this criteria easily.

Quick fail on ground of copyright violation. I made a few edits to improve this but there is more work to be done. Also the fact that the copyvivo is finding his party's page is highly concerning for the neutrality of the article and editors.

@ 102.89.22.60 ( talk) 10:40, 3 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Here is the earliest capture of the source that I marked as a copyvivo issue in the GAN. @ SafariScribe marked on my talk page this source may actually be copying wikipedia. Upon further inspection to the edit history of the article, I see that several of the phrases marked as copyvivo were written on this article before the first capture of the source. I think that is sufficient for a good-faith belief that the article is not in copyright violation. Therefore, if SafariScribe opens a new review I will happily reconsider.

I currently have a lot of comments under coverage just in the first section. I don't think it is worth being more through until those are addressed.

• Hi Czarking0, I will address all the concern, but please give me time. I will ping you when am done. Thanks. Safari Scribe ^{Edits! Talk!} 19:50, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Controversy section is a little iffy. Panama papers is the only thing in here. It could make sense to incorporate this into other sections. I recommend you come back to this point after addressing the others. The governorship section includes the SEC and other roles which it should not
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	The author and I have discussed this. See previous GA and talk page for more details
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	I think there are some significant coverage issues. However, I understand that there may not be the requisite sources to cover all these points. Here is what I think needs to be added: What are the major differences in platform between Obi and Ngige in the 2003 election What were the results of the 2003 campaign? Any notable difference in the results by certain demographic groups or districts? How does Obi tie into the larger picture of All Progressives Grand Alliance in 2003 Did the 2003 campaign have other notable candidates that Obi was notably differentiated from? Why was he impeached? What were the results of the 2007 election? Again demographic or district differences? How did the public respond to Obi not running? Voter turn out? Anecdotes? On what grounds did he challenge the impeachment? How rare are these type of judicial issues in electoral process in Nigeria? Were other Nigerian politicians facing similar challenges? What were the results of the 2010 election? Again demographic or district differences? Why did Obiano's succession occur? What did he do as governor? Why was he chosen for the SEC role? What did he do at the SEC ? "Obi was named as the running mate to Atiku Abubakar " - for what role? Why was he the running mate?
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.
