Former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe has not stopped talking about one of his sons, Bolu who recently came out as a gay man.

Recall that Okupe had earlier released a statement yesterday stating that he is vehemently opposed to homosexuality.

Hours after the opposition, Okupe shared a new post on social media this morning where he prayed for his son, Bolu.

Okupe stated that Bolu isn’t a criminal and that he lives in France where homosexuality isn’t a crime.

Doyin who was in the Goodluck Jonathan government that signed the anti-gay law in 2014, wrote;

”I love all the children God has given me, Bolu inclusive.

I pray for them to excel in their fields of endevours.

Bolu will still be celebrated on this wall, in Nigeria and globally, in the name of Jesus.

I believe the Scriptures and the Holy Bible assures me in Isaiah 3 vs 10:

TELL THE RIGHTEOUS, IT SHALL BE WELL WITH HIM.

All my children shall be for great signs and wonders in Jesus Name.

Bolu is not a criminal. He lives in France where Homosexuality is not a crime.

His present mind set and sexual orientation does not conform to Christian Doctrine which I hold to with my life. But I am certain that with the boldness he has made his declaration, he will still use same attribute to serve God and boldly declare His Glory in Christ Jesus.

Mark my words.”
