Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, wife of late activist Yinka, has delivered a set of twins in a hospital in the United States of America (U.S.A).
She announced that the “miracle” babies – a boy and a girl – were born on October 27, six months after her husband’s demise.
According to the activist, she and the babies are in excellent health condition.
She said her late husband wanted to have another baby
“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 the last childbirth.
“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 became pregnant 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.
It’s a dream come true!” the statement by Dr. Okei-Odumakin added.
