Widow of the late spokesperson of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, Joe Okei-Odumakin has given birth to a set of twins.
Gatekeepers News reports that Odumakin welcomed the twins, a boy and a girl, on Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at a hospital in the United States of America.
She announced the arrival of the new babies on Sunday, saying 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.
The babies are coming 6 months after the death of her husband and 18 years after her last childbirth. The couple got married in 1997 and had their first baby girl in 2000, while the second, a boy, was born in 2003.
It read, “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!
