Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin has put to rest controversies over the cause of her husband’s death this morning.

She revealed in a statement that the Afenifere spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, died a week after he survived Covid-19.

Read her statement:

A PART OF ME IS GONE!
With gratitude to the Supreme Being for a life well spent, I announce the passing on of my beloved husband, Comrade Yinka Odumakin, to the great beyond after a brief illness.

The sad event happened this morning (Saturday, 3/4/2021) at the intensive care unit of LASUTH where he was being managed for respiratory issues due to complications from COVID-19 which he had recovered from about a week ago.

I appreciate the outpouring of grief and sympathy from home and abroad as I mourn my irreplaceable soulmate. I urge us all to remain steadfast in the cause of the masses to which he dedicated his life.

Burial arrangement will be made public in due course.

Signed: Dr. Joe Okei Odumakin
