Odumakin came back to life a few months after his death, the Yoruba activist and spokesperson of Afenifere, the late Yinka Odumakin, ‘resurrected’ in far away United States as his widow, Joe Okei-Odumakin, gave birth to a set of twins.

She was delivered of bouncing twins, a boy and a girl,  at a United States hospital on Wednesday, October 27, 2021.

According to Reports Odumakin 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.

The couple got married in 1997, 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.

The twins are coming 18 years after they had their last child.

Late Yinka Odumakin went into a three-day coma in 2020 but survived it. Few months later,  he succumbed to the illness that eventually but unexpectedly claimed his life.

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

Their prayers were answered as Joe 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 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.
