The Media Office of Rt. Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, Immediate past Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, has alerted the public to a plot by desperate politicians to launch a malicious media smear campaign against him.
According to the office in a statement on Tuesday, these individuals are jittery over Elumelu’s soaring popularity and have resorted to faking news sites and planting misrepresentations.
A recent example of this smear campaign is a fake Facebook post attributed to an online news platform (Not Razornewsng.com), claiming that Rt. Hon. Ndudi Elumelu made comments on some political parties at a rally in Asaba, Delta State capital, on August 9, 2025. However, Elumelu’s office clarifies that he did not attend any such rally, and the post is a fabrication.
The office’s investigation reveals that some cowardly political elements have recruited individuals to spread falsehoods and fabrications against Elumelu. Despite forgiving those behind this mischief, the office warns that it will take strong legal and professional actions if such individuals do not desist.
This is not the first time Elumelu’s office has had to debunk false reports.
