Just weeks before the presidential elections in Nigeria, a 24 year-old man, Ibime Belema-Jonathan, has announced that he is the illegitimate son of incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.
Dr Reuben Abati, the Special Adviser to President Jonathan on media, has denied the claim, saying that the President does not have any illegitimate sons by whatever name.
According to Abati, the report is cheap propaganda from the opposition party.
The Special Adviser added that the timing of the report, coming in the heat of the election campaign, shows the desperation of some people.
He said: “It is good for them to know that propaganda and cheap blackmails do not win elections. Continue...
“Nigerians know who they want and who they will vote for. Churning out such blackmail story will not win the election.
“This is also coming at a time that the opposition parties signed the Abuja Accord meant to ensure that
election campaigns are issue-based and do not degenerate into blackmail.”
The report according to Ladun Liadi claimed he said he is a product of a long time relationship of President Goodluck Jonathan and a woman, whom he claimed is his mother.
According to the report, his is 24 years and Ibime Belema-Jonathan by name. A lot of news site has been reporting the guy declared he is President Jonathan’s son yesterday on twitter, but we found it hard to believe, Ladun stated.
