Doyin Okupe, a former senior special assistant on public affairs to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has reacted to his Bolu Okupe publicly declaring his gay status.
The 27-year old son on Wednesday took to his Instagram page on Wednesday to share a picture of himself in a rainbow-colored short with a rainbow flag behind him.
“Yes, I’m Gay AF”, he wrote.
Acknowledging his son homosexuality, the former presidential aide took to his Twitter in the early hours of Friday to reveal that he has been aware of Bolu’s status for a while, insinuating that what is happening to his son is a spiritual challenge.
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. pic.twitter.com/39RXFueGVB

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.

“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.
