Delete. No claim here satisfies
WP:NPOL (serving on committees is not enough) — and the referencing is almost entirely to
primary sources and cursory namechecks of his existence, with not nearly enough sourcing that's substantively about him to claim
WP:GNG instead.

Delete The only source in the article of any substantial depth is the nubnews24 one. It appears to be
self-published. I couldn't find it on any list of Nigerian media. The byline for every article is ndukwe uche, and on the left is an "About Me" navigation for the same. The website was first registered earlier this year to an organization called Students Nigeria. Punch is a reliable source, as I think is Scan News. However, outside of a couple of primary source direct quotes, put together they contain less than 200 words about the subject, basically just that he is the leader of the group Non-Indigenes Without Border. The other two sources are mere directory-type listings saying that the subject is on the Governor's inauguration committee.
Searches by article title and by the name Emeka Onowu, including direct searches of a dozen Port Harcourt and nationwide Nigerian news archives, turned up no additional sources. Does not meet
WP:GNG or
WP:POLITICIAN.
