In the past few days, the photo of this young man, Ibime Belema-Jonathan, has been viral on the social media with him claiming to be President Goodluck Jonathan's illegitimate son.
According
to the reports, the 24-year-old guy believes he is one of the
president's sons born outside wedlock and the photo that has been passed
around speaks of a striking resemblance with the Nigerian leader and
with the explanation that follows, one may not need to look too far to
see that there may be some truth in it.
Though the
President's spokesperson, Dr Rueben Abati has come out to state that
the allegation is false, many think there could be a truth in the claim
of the young man.
This is how it a Twitter user, @Abiyamo, put it:
"According to Belema-Jonathan, his mother
was a receptionist in a Port Harcourt hotel (which shall remain
undisclosed) when she met Goodluck nearly 25 years ago. Their
relationship was made private because of the risks it posed to
Goodluck's then fledgling political career.
He
has decided to disclose this information after recently being informed
by his mother, who had just passed away. It is his desire for his father
to assume and fulfill his fatherly duties after a lifetime of absence."

Could this be another political smear campaign on the President?
