Yinka Odumakin’s Widow Gives Birth To Twins Six Months After His Death
The wife of the late spokesman of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, Joe Okei-Odumakin, has delivered twins at a hospital in the United States of America.
It was gathered that Joe delivered a boy and a girl on Wednesday and they are both in good health.
According to the widow of the late spokesperson of Afenifere, the birth of the twins fulfilled the wishes of her husband to have another baby to be named after him.
Yinka and Joe who tied the knot in 1997, had their first child, a girl in 2000 and the second, a boy in 2003.
The girl was named after her mother and the boy was named Abraham after the late Afenifere leader, Pa Abraham Adesanya.
The birth of the twins are coming eighteen years after they gave birth to their last child.
Joe in a statement noted that had husband had left instructions for the name or names of the baby.
The statement read in part, “He had, however, prophetically left words concerning what the baby or babies should be called if his wishes materialised.
“YO, as he is fondly called, was so accurate in his predictions that they could be twins (and their sex) that he gave the names of the babies and told me how he would raise them.
“While many may interpret this to mean that YO had a 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!”
