A former Presidential Spokesman, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has reacted after his son, Bolu, publicly came out as gay Thursday.

Bolu came out on social media in a with a bold statement as he dawned himself in the LGBTQ rainbow laced boxer and flag.

Reacting to the revelation in a series of tweets, Doyin who served under former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan,  said it is a spiritual challenge.

Although Doyin says he has been aware of Bolu’s orientation for a while, he said he is vehemently opposed to homosexuality as it is against the Christian faith.

“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,” he said.

Speaking further, Doyin is optimistic that this phase will end in praise for Bolu, believing God for his deluverance.

“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 dead that he cannot hear. Isaiah 59 vs 1.”
