Doyin Okupe vehemently supported the Anti-gay law in 2014. Now his son is gay – LGBT activist, Pamela Adie
LGBT activist, Pamela Adie has reacted to the news of the son of former presidential spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, coming out publicly as gay.
In a series of Tweets, Pamela recalled that during the President Goodluck Jonathan- led administration which Okupe was part of, he vehemently supported the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act (SSMPA) which forbids any cohabitation between same-sex sexual partners and bans any public show of same-sex amorous relationship as it imposes a 10-year prison sentence on anyone who registers, operates, or participates in gay clubs, societies, and organizations or supports the activities of such organizations. The bill states that anyone caught in any act of homosexuality will face a jail term of between 10 to 14 years.
Reacting to this in a series of tweets, Adie said years after Okupe supported such a law that violently harms gay people, his son has now come out to announce he is gay.
She wrote;
”Son: Dad, I’m gay Dad: I’m a Christian. This is a spiritual attack! Let’s pray!Una no dey tire? Na so scam pastors go dey chop una money upandan. Don’t love and accept your children. Be looking for solution where there’s no problem.
“With all his experience and exposure as a medical doctor, Doyin Okupe still believes that his son being gay is a “spiritual attack”. Where does one go from here?
“Let’s not forget that Doyin Okupe was a senior aide to President Jonathan and vehemently supported him when he signed the SSMPA into law in 2014; a dangerous law that violently harms so many in this country. Now, Okupe’s son has announced that he is gay. I love life!”
spiritual attack indeed…
Yes, I could remember vividly that doyin okupe vehemently support it but during this trauma he just need prayer and nothing more.
It may be repercussion of what he has done wrong because using tax payers money to finance your children at the detrimental of the rest nothing good will come out.
Don’t let any pastors dupe you because they will just ask you to bring money for some prayers, that is it.
It’s only God can judge someone just remember not to dupe someone for your own sake that is it.
What are you talking about. Every normal human being supposed oppose that useless bill. Doyin has performed his duties as a father to the son by sending to one of the best schools abroad. Whatever that boy/man turn himself to be is not Doyin faulft. The young man has come of age and is answerable to his deeds. If he commits crime will Doyin for in for him. no. Therefore as he choose to live his life is in his hands. Spiritual or not that biy/man is an abnormal being
