Former President Spokesman, Dr Doyin Okupe, has opened up on the confession by his son, Bolu, that he is gay.

France-based Bolu, a graduate of the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, has a Master of Science in International Management from NEOMA Business School, France.

Reacting shortly after Bolu came out as gay on Instagram, Dr. Okupe yesterday evening, Thursday, January 21, 2021, lamented his son’s choice of lifestyle, explaining that it runs contrary to his Christian legacy.

The frontline politician, who at various times served as Special Assistant to President Olusegun Obasanjo and Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan, said in a social media post that Bolu’s decision to become gay is not ordinary but spiritual and declared his readiness to tackle it spiritually. He wrote:

“The picture below is that of Mobolurin Okupe. He is my son. I gave him the 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.”
