Okei-Odumakin welcomes twins six months after husband’s death

Human rights activist, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin was delivered of twins at the United States of America hospital on October 27, 2021.

The widow of the late spokesperson of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, in a statement on her Facebook page on Sunday said the “miracle birth” fulfilled the wish of her late husband.

“The late Odumakin, towards the end of his sojourn on earth wished to have another baby to be named after him”, she said.

The couple got married in 1997, had their baby, a girl in 2003. While the girl was named after Joe, the boy was named Abraham, after the late Afenifere leader, Pa Abraham Adesanya.

The statement said, “The twins are coming 18 years after the first childbirth.

“Thank God Joe did not dither or procrastinate as she took in just about the time YO fell ill and never recovered”.

Odumakin died on April 3 at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital Ikeja, after a brief illness.
