Doyin Okupe, a former presidential spokesperson, has described the decision of his son, Bolu, to identify himself as a homosexual as a spiritual challenge and has called on God to reverse the situation.
Okupe made his position known on Twitter on Thursday while reacting to reports on the sexuality of his son.
Reacting to the report, Okupe said he has been aware of his son’s sexual orientation for a while but insisted that he would never accept homosexuality as a evangelist because it is contradictory to the Christian faith.
He prayed that God will help him intervene and change his son’s thoughts, adding he believes “this whole saga will end up in Praise to the Almighty”.
“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,” the former presidential spokesperson tweeted.
Following his tweets, some Twitter users have indicated that they will join him in prayers to help reverse the situation.
