Unreferenced and incomprehensible. Because the English is so garbled, hard to say whether it makes a
credible claim for significance, but doesn't establish notability.

Weak delete. My reading of the article has him as a sort of state-level politician in Nigeria, but quite possibly not an office-holder. A Google search doesn't give an awful lot of hope, as there appear to have been similar figures with similar names. Assuming none of these are this gentleman known by a nickname/shortened name, then my delete opinion is stronger. The fact that it's unreferenced is an issue as well, although it's possible that this will be a sort of "pre-internet" subject, given the era and location.

Weak delete: there's some references which may be talking about this person here: (
401identity.com and
allafrica.com), which mention "Alhaji Abubakar Dakingari" (without the "gusau"), and these sources describe him as the "former Gov. of Kebbi". However, I cannot say whether these are talking about the person in the article. Also, I cannot tell if the page is about a living or dead person, so there may be
unreferenced BLP issues. Because I can't see whether notability is met or not for this person, that's why I'm leaning towards delete. Seagull123 Φ 16:22, 3 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Comment - It says he fought in the creation of Zamfara State and has 3 wives. The former is not in itself a credible claim of significance, and the latter is mere family detail.

Delete - there's no claim to notability here nor content worth keeping.
