Nollywood actor Samuel Ajibola, widely known as "Spiff," has acknowledged the observations made by netizens about the striking resemblance between his son and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The actor's family faced cyberbullying after he shared pictures of their visit to Obasanjo in 2022.

Addressing the cyberbullying in a recent interview on Channels TV, Samuel Ajibola stated that the claims suggesting Obasanjo was the "true father" of his son were based on a "misinformed position."

He clarified that the resemblance was merely a coincidence and not indicative of any familial connection.

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.”
