Yinka Odumakin’s Wife Gives Birth To Twins
-
Yinka Odumakin’s wife has given birth to twins.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, the widow of the late spokesperson of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, has on Sunday announced the birth of twins, a boy and a girl.
Dr Okei-Odumakin, who made the disclosure via her Facebook account on Sunday, disclosed that she was delivered of the twins at a hospital in the United States of America (USA).
She added that she delivered the twins on Wednesday, October 27, 2021.
“The mother and the babies are in excellent health condition. The “miracle” birth fulfilled the wishes of the late Odumakin towards the end of his sojourn on earth to have another baby to be named after him,” she wrote.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that the couple got married in 1997, and had their first baby girl in 2000 and the second, a boy, in 2003.
While the girl was named after Joe, the boy was named Abraham after the late Afenifere leader, Pa Abraham Adesanya.
Meanwhile, the twins are coming 18 years after the last childbirth.
Dr. Okei-Odumakin added, “After he survived a three-day coma in 2020 and a few months before he succumbed to the illness that eventually but unexpectedly claimed his life, YO, as he is fondly called, developed a strong desire for him and his wife to have another baby.

“Thank God Joe did not dither or procrastinate as she took in just about the time YO took ill and never recovered.
“It was good news that Joe conceived but YO never got to hear the news of his wishes coming to pass as he did not make it out of the ventilator.
“He had, however, prophetically left words concerning what the baby or babies should be called if his wishes materialised.
“YO was so accurate in his predictions that they could be twins (and their sex) that he gave the names of the babies and told his wife how he would raise them.

“While many may interpret this to mean that YO had premonition about his death, it was only a strong desire expressed by him to have babies that he would dot over and who would possibly step into his “aluta” shoes. It’s a dream come true,” the widow of the late spokesperson of Afenifere stated.
It would be recalled that Yinka Odumakin died on April 2 after battling respiratory problems occasioned by COVID-19 complications.
The late activist and Afenifere spokesman died at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Covid Isolation Centre.
