Nollywood actor Samuel Ajibola, also referred to as “Spiff,” has finally acknowledged that his son looks like former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
According to the report, Ajibola’s family experienced cyberbullying following the 2022 social media post of pictures from their trip to Obasanjo.
His son and the former Nigerian leader bear a “striking resemblance,” as noted by online users.
In response to the cyberbullying, the actor said in a recent Channels TV interview that people’s assertion that Obasanjo was his son’s “true father” was based on “misinformed position.”
He said: “The picture that caused the stir was the picture with me and my wife with the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
“I’m the Youth Ambassador to the Youth Development Centre of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library. So I have a relationship with him. He is a huge mentor to my life.
“And so from time to time, I visit him. After I had my son, I took him there to see him. And people started assuming things. They said, ‘Okay, my wife was a secretary to the former President.’ It moved from that to, ‘Oh! He [Obasanjo] is the true father’ of my son.
“I won’t deny it, I’m saying this live on air. In that picture, my son does look like him there. But there are circumstances around it. And it’s still a picture. It’s a still picture. It’s a second. It’s a moment of which my son was just waking up from sleep when we arrived. So he was just booting and he had those eyebags. Those eyebags made him look like the former President. And people were claiming as if they were 100 per cent sure that the former President was the true father of my son.”
