A two-time presidential spokesman Doyin Okupe says he believes he is facing a spiritual battle after his son Bolu Okupe revealed on Wednesday that he was gay.
Bolu had posed in multi-coloured underwear holding a similar clothing in an Instagram photo and declared his sexual disposition.
“Yes I’m Gay AF,” he wrote.
In response, Mr Okupe tweeted on Friday morning, saying he had been aware and opposed to it.
He added that he believes as a Christian he would emerge victorious.
“My attention has been drawn to a publication of my 27yr old son, Bolu okupe, in which he declared publicly that he is Gay,” said Okupe.
”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.”
