By Former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe has reacted after his son, Bolu, took to Instagram yesterday to publicly declare himself as gay.
In his response published on his Twitter handle, Mr Okupe denounced his son’s sexual orientation, saying that it is beyond ordinary that his son came out as guy, and that he sees it as a spiritual challenge which will be over soon.
The statement reads, “My attention has been drawn to a publication of my 27yr old son, Bolu okupe, in which he declared publicly that he is Gay. I gave him that name MOBA OLUWA RIN, (I WALKED WITH GOD) because he was born at the time I gave my life to Christ.
“I have been aware of this his new orientation for a while now. He knows that as a Christian and a witness for Christ (an evangelist) I am vehemently opposed to homosexuality as it runs contrary to the avowed precepts of my Christian faith.
“For me I look beyond the surface or the physical. Here I see a major spiritual challenge ahead but I know as my God liveth, this whole saga will end up in Praise to the Almighty Jehova who i serve day and night.
“For it is written: Behold, the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is His ear dead that he cannot hear. Isaiah 59 vs 1.”
It would be recalled that former president Goodluck Jonathan in 2014 signed a bill that criminalises same sex relationships, despite widespread criticism of the policy by the international community.
