An aide to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Dr. Doyin Okupe, has expressed confidence that the recent public declaration by his son, Mobolurin on his Instagram page that he is gay would end in praise.
Okupe took to his Facebook page on Thursday, January 21 saying he was aware of the gay status of his son stating however that what is happening to him is beyond the physical.
He recalled that he named him Mobolurin because he was born at a time when he (Dr. Doyin Okupe) gave his life to Christ.

He wrote, referring to the picture of his son, “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.”
