Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin, widow of the late Spokesperson of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, was delivered of twins – a boy and a girl – at a hospital in the United States of America on Wednesday.

Odumakin, who is also the President, Women Arise for Change Initiative, made the disclosure on Sunday in a statement titled “Yinka Odumakin returns”.

According to the statement, both mother and the babies are in excellent health condition.

Recall that Yinka died on April 2, aged 54, after battling with respiratory problems occasioned by COVID-19 complications.

In her statement, Okei-Odumakin noted that it was a dream come true, adding that the twins came 18 years after her last childbirth.

“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.

“After YO, as he is fondly called, 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, he developed a strong desire for him and his wife to have another baby.

“Thank God l did not dither or procrastinate as l took in just about the time YO took ill and never recovered

“It was good news that l 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,” she said.

Okei-Odumakin went onto explain that her late husband, however, prophetically left words concerning what the baby or babies should be called if his wishes materialised.

According to her, “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”.

She said 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.

The couple got married in 1997, had their first baby girl in 2000 and the second, a boy, in 2003.
