John Uwhumiakpor is running as a People Before Profit candidate in the Dublin Fingal constituency.
A Facebook post showing a photograph of the Nigerian-born candidate's poster has gone viral with the caption: "Another Wifi password looking for votes up in Balbriggan."

"It is my surname - it was a name that my dad used when he was alive," said Mr Uwhumiakpor.
"I don't see any reason why someone's identity should be used to attack them - that is not good."
