Professor Bart Nnaji Denies Alleged Governorship Ambition, Disowns Viral NDC Campaign Poster

A political clarification has emerged in Enugu State following the circulation of a viral campaign poster allegedly linking Professor Bart Nnaji to a governorship ambition under the National Democratic Congress.

In a statement released on Saturday, associates of Professor Nnaji described the poster as fake, misleading, and unauthorized, insisting that the renowned engineer and former Minister of Power is not involved in partisan politics or any governorship campaign.

The disclaimer emphasized that Professor Nnaji is neither a member of the NDC nor a participant in any political movement connected to the 2027 governorship race in Enugu State.

According to the statement, the respected academic and entrepreneur remains committed to his long-standing work in engineering, innovation, electricity development, education, and national development initiatives.

The clarification also urged members of the public, media organizations, and social media users to verify information carefully before sharing politically sensitive materials online.

Supporters of Professor Nnaji described the circulation of the poster as a deliberate act of misinformation capable of creating confusion within the political space.

Political observers say the incident reflects the increasing spread of fake campaign materials and unauthorized political endorsements as political activities ahead of 2027 continue to intensify across the state.

Analysts also warn that the rise of manipulated political content on social media could contribute to misinformation, political tension, and public misunderstanding if not properly addressed.

As reactions continue online, the statement firmly maintained that Professor Bart Nnaji is not contesting for governor and has no affiliation with the viral campaign poster currently in circulation.
