An aide to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has reacted to a declaration by one of his sons, Mobolurin, that he (son) is a gay.
Okupe says he had known about the development for some time but expresses confidence that all will end in praise.
He notes in a Facebook post:
“The picture 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 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 Jehovah 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 deaf that he cannot hear. Isaiah 59 vs 1.”
